Record membership! iOS 12 is already used by half of iPhones and iPads

For Apple it is not very difficult to keep your audience inside a unit, different from Android where the 9 Pie is not even at least 1% market . That's why, with just two weeks of market, iOS 12 is already running half of the iPhones and compatible iPads.

This is a surprising result even when a good adoption of the OS was expected, which remained compatible with all devices running the previous version. To get an idea, iOS 11 took six weeks to arrive at a near result .

Market analysts believe that rapid adherence is largely due to new optimization features in older models. After all, it is very welcome that the iPhone 5S of 2013 can gain a little bit of breath until the buyer decides to change handset.

As a result, the latest stable system already has 47.6% of the Apple market, while the 2017 version accounts for a share of 45.6%. IOS 10 and earlier versions are running on only 6.9% of the devices, probably because they are not compatible with newer versions.

It is worth remembering, however, that some sacrifices had to be made by Apple to make the new OS happen: the battery life in the iPhone 8, for example, left something to be desired . So the upgrade can be a double-edged sword.
