Apple’s iOS 11 has proven to be very popular among its users, according to new data the company released on Friday.
Apple said that 65% of devices are now on the latest operating system, iOS 11, which is built specifically for its mobile devices. In addition, 28% of devices are on the last generation operating system, iOS 10, and 7% are using an earlier version of the operating system.
These numbers are even more impressive when you consider what Apple’s main competition is doing. According to Google’s own numbers, only 0.7% of its devices are using the latest version of Android, dubbed Oreo. Google says 26.7% are using the last version of Android, called Nougat, and 28.6% of Android devices are using an operating system three generations back, called Marshmallow.
This is great data from Apple. More people in the iOS ecosystem have access to the latest features and security updates than their Android counterparts. That may not matter to some users, until it does.
