iOS beta 7 1 was launched by the company on Monday Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, and those from Chitika they monitored its evolution in the US and Canada to see how interested users are to test the new version of the operating system. Their monitoring showed that 0.22% of iDevice owners in the US and Canada are running iOS 7 at the moment and we are probably talking about about 1 million terminals that have installed the latest version of iOS. The figures represent an installation base obtained after 3 days from the launch iOS beta 7 1, and if we make a comparison with last year, 6 iOS beta it was installed on 0.11% of iDevices in the US and Canada one month after launch.
Notably, however, the number of impressions generated by iOS 7 beta users over our network has continued to increase. For comparison, while we previously observed users of the iOS 6 beta generating 0.11% of all iOS traffic following the third beta release on July 16, 2012, iOS 7 users are already responsible for 0.22% of all North American Web traffic from compatible devices two days after its initial release. However, it is worth noting that the third iteration of the iOS 6 beta was available on some iPad models, specifically version two and above.
Basically we are talking about double interest in just 3 days and this percentage will increase significantly as Apple releases new beta versions of iOS 7 and will solve the functionality problems, so in a month we could probably talk about a user base of 1%. Apple has sold 600 million iDevices since 2007 and until now, no one knows how many more are active, but since we are talking about figures available only in the USA and Canada, we can say for sure that in the whole world between at least 1 and 2 millions of users are testing iOS 7 at the moment.
