Months Apple announced that 5 million iPhone 5 terminals were sold in just 3 days and that 100 million iDevices have updated to the new one iOS 6. The figure is impressive and makes us understand that users were eager to test the new version of the operating system, and the alerts sent by the system software Update they definitely contributed to the increase in the adoption rate. According to a market research company called OnSwipe, 60% of iPhone owners have already installed iOS 6, 42% of iPad tablet owners have done the same, and if we do a statistic for owners of both devices, then the adoption rate is 45%.
iOS 6 has photo posting, where you can upload photos and videos from the phone, so now web apps, if they implement that camera feature, publishers know users can take advantage of it immediately. And for us, they did something in iOS 6 that made Safari a lot better, it's noticeable, so we know that 41 percent of iPad users are seeing a better experience, that's great after one week.
If we make a comparison with iOS 5, then I will tell you that only one month after the release of that version of iOS we could talk about an adoption rate of 38% among the owners of iPhone terminals, so the Software Update in iOS helped many users to update when needed. The data from OnSwipe is based on a network of partner websites through which 100.000 iDevices passed until yesterday morning, so we are not talking about exact numbers, but about a projection made on the basis of cold data.
