iOS 7 now running on 60% of iGadgets

by 13 comments

It’s been a bit over a week since iOS 7 became officially available to download and install on older iPhones and it has already hit around 60% adoption rate. Only a small part of that is due to newly purchased iPhone 5s and 5c units, as both combined account for around 2% of all iPhones according to Mixpanel.

Mixpanel has iOS 7 adoption at a hair over 62%, having surpassed the dwindling iOS 6 share sometime on September 20 (just a couple of days after release).

Another tracking firm, Fiksu, has the iOS 7 adoption at around 58% currently after a 60% peak. According to Fiksu numbers, the adoption of the new OS version is quicker than the iOS 6 adoption, which itself was quicker than that of version 5.

Those numbers are probably not 100% accurate as they use apps to track the install base, but they should be close to the truth. They are unquestionably impressive and a testament of what can be achieved when a single company runs the hardware and the software show and there are only a few devices (in terms of different models) to update.
