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.
I wonder if the numbers would be so high if you could go back down an iOS release. Personally iOS11 has been syrupy slow on all my family devices except my iPad Pro. I would go back to iOS10 in a heartbeat if I could though I love the automations that came with 11 HomeKit when all family members upgraded.
iOS 11 (introduced only 4 months ago, September 19, 2017) is on 65% of devices.
Android Oreo (introduced 5 months ago, August 21, 2017) is on 0.7% of devices
iOS has captured almost 100x the share of its devices vs. the share that Android Oreo has achieved… In a shorter amount of time! ??
Can anyone say “fragmentation”? (I knew you could ?)
I’d say it’s a disaster. iOS 10 reached 2/3 adoption in less than a month. And with iOS 11 it took 4 months.
Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.

Not sure why you’re comparing Apple to Android. Compare Apples to apples, so to speak.
Their adoption compared to iOS 10, 9, etc is way down on the equivalent time.
