75% of users switched to iOS 12

Three-quarters of iOS users have upgraded to iOS 12, suggest data released by the analyst company Mixpanel. According to the company's records, about 75% of users have upgraded to iOS 12, about 20% still use iOS 11 and others use an earlier version.

This is an impressive reminder of the speed with which Apple users are switching to the latest version.

These figures place iOS 12 ahead of iOS 11 last year during their first few months. It took iOS 11 to December 17, 2017 to reach 75% of the market. This gives iOS 12 about three weeks ahead of its predecessor in terms of adoption.

Apple released its own official figures a month ago today, October 29. At the time, 60% of users were using iOS 12, compared to 29% using iOS 11.

How does it compare to Android?

As always, the numbers seem particularly strong compared to Android. While there are obvious differences between the two platforms, the numbers underscore just how fragmented the Android market is in terms of mobile OS versions. The most popular Android operating system is Nougat 2016, which is used by approximately 28% of users. After that, Marshmallow 2015 and Oreo 2017 are tied with around 21% of users.

Apple, meanwhile, can launch a new iOS version on September 17 and upgrade almost all of its users in the space of three months. It's an impressive feat!
