iOS 7 adoption rate continues to grow

Juli Clover:

Apple’s iOS 7 adoption rate continues to grow, even as the release of iOS 8 approaches. As of yesterday, 90 percent of devices connected to the App Store are running iOS 7, according to new numbers posted on Apple’s App Store developer support page.

The new milestone, which comes 10 months after the operating system’s original release, is a three percent increase from installation numbers of 87 percent back in April.

I can’t say it enough, the importance of OS adoption is critical to any mobile platform. Right now, a significant portion of iOS users are running the most secure and up-to-date version possible. That’s good for everyone.
