iOS 9 adoption rate slowed down, increasing by 4 percentage points to 70% in November

According to foreign media reports, although the overall adoption rate of iOS 9 rose to 70% in November, which is basically the same as previous versions, Apple found that the growth rate of iOS 9's adoption rate has slowed down significantly, increasing by only 4 percentage points in November.

According to data released by the iOS App Store on November 30, 22% of iOS devices are still using the iOS 8 system released last year, and 8% of devices are running iOS 7 and earlier versions of the iOS system.

Since iOS 9 was released a little later than the normal iPhone release schedule, adoption of iOS 9 has grown rapidly since its release in September. After jumping 7 percentage points in two weeks in October, iOS 9 adoption has reached 57% in three weeks.

Recently, Apple upgraded its iOS system to version 9.1, which introduced more than 150 new emojis and Live Photos enhancements, which also pushed the adoption rate of iOS 9 up another 9 percentage points in early November.

Although iOS 9's adoption rate has slowed, the overall adoption rate of this version is comparable to or even higher than previous versions. For example, at this time last year, iOS 8 had an adoption rate of only 60%. iOS 7, released in 2013, was on par with iOS 9, reaching an adoption rate of 74% less than three months after its release.
