iOS 18.1 contributes to rapid adoption of the iPhone operating system, according to figures held by Tim Cook himself
According to a new interview given by Tim Cook, iOS 18.1 sees excellent adoption numbers right now since its launch earlier this week. At the end of the day yesterday, the report on the results of the last fiscal quarter 2024 was produced, in which Apple recorded a new revenue record. The Apple CEO did not miss the opportunity to show the milestone that marked a new era that begins with Apple Intelligence.
iOS 18.1 and its adoption is faster than iOS 17.1 was at the time
Let us remember that Apple Intelligence was announced as the big star launch in terms of software at WWDC 2024, but it was not released as quickly as expected. It took until iOS 18.1 for the first batch of functions to be released, which will be completed until 2025. According to Tim, the feedback has been excellent regarding the new features.
We’re getting great feedback from customers and developers, with a very early statistic showing that just three days ago, users were adopting iOS 18.1 at twice the rate of iOS 17.1 in the same period. quarter of last year.
iOS 18.1 will be a historic update for the iPhone
Comparing what iOS 17.1 meant with today, they hardly look alike. Last year, minimal changes were added to the Music app, AirDrop and the new sleep feature when we charge the iPhone in landscape mode and a different screen appears in terms of displaying clock and information.
These are the first official data regarding the adoption of iOS 18. The last time Apple announced this directly was when it shared the data on its developer website.
Adoption will increase faster with Apple Intelligence
In addition to the high adoption of iOS 18, Tim Cook said in an interview with CNBC that the iPhone 16 sales were stronger than iPhone 15in turn, sales of the iPhone 15 were better than those of the iPhone 14 quarter by quarter. He’s staying Apple’s most important product since it represents almost half of the brand’s overall sales.
In all probability, Apple could boast record adoption figures for iOS 18 in the coming months given that iOS 18.2 is already in developer beta. With this version, more complementary Apple Intelligence functions are expected such as Image Playground, Genmoji, definitive integration with ChatGPT, among other functions. The premiere could take place until December.
This is a very interesting improvement to notifications on iPhone
Based on iOS 17 adoption news, in December 2023 this operating system was installed on 60% of iPhones, in February 2024 it reached 66% and it was reported that the adoption was slow compared to iOS 16. By June 2024, iOS 17 reaches 77% of all iPhones. If Tim Cook assures that he is settling at a rate twice as high as the previous year, adoption record could happen in December.
