The company Apple announced that iOS 8 was downloaded and installed in about 400 million iPhones and iPads around the world. This represents 46 per cent. Apple’s mobile hardware located now in the hands of users.
The new software is intended for several models of smartphones from iPhone 4s and above (4s, 5, and 5c 5s), as well as tablet iPad2, iPad3, iPad4, iPad Air and both iPad mini – both the regular version and the equipped with a Retina display. Its popularity is growing rapidly, but the system did not beat the record of his predecessor. iOS 7 within a week of its launch was in fact installed on 52 percent. adapted to the devices. Currently, statistics on various versions of Apple’s software ecosystem look like the most popular iOS 7 running in 49 per cent. devices, iOS 8 has said 46 per cent., and older versions are installed in 5 per cent. phones.
Estimates indicate that during the first 24 hours of the publication of the latest version of iOS and decided on it about 17 percent. users, that is, less than half it was in the case of iOS 7 Generally less popular “eights” in comparison with the predecessor may be due to the fact that a growing number of users complaining about the problems associated with the new software. Discussion forums on Apple hardware (for example, on page discussions.apple.com) can meet the allegations that after installing iOS 8 there are problems with the network connection over Wi-Fi. It happens that the connection is completely broken, in other cases, the transfer rate drops significantly. One of the users on the said forum gives an example: in the iPhone 5S before upgrading to iOS version 8 network performance when sending data was 2.1 Mb / s, while getting 4.4 Mb / s, and the pings were level 17 ms. After installing the latest Apple system download speed dropped to 2.9 Mb / s, upload to 0.47 Mbit / s and pings lengthened to 39 ms.
Another problem indicated by the users is the faster than a standard battery of devices running under iOS- and 8 Apple maintains that in this case difficulties arise from the inadequacy of some applications to the requirements of the new system, and should disappear when the creators of these programs will give the appropriate update for iOS 8 In extreme cases, the Cupertino company recommends that you temporarily uninstall the application downloaders too many resources from the battery and wait for them to publish reinstalling the upgrade.
Signals of handicaps in cooperation iOS 8 and Apple devices also apply to the performance of the latter after the installation of the system. This is especially the slightly older models, which, however, according to Apple should cope with the demands of the new software. Unfortunately, in many cases, it is different. This is demonstrated by, among other tests, according to which iOS 8 installed on your smartphone, the iPhone 4S will significantly reduce its performance. This is particularly evident in the case of some of the features and applications. It shows, for example, that after installing the iPhone 4S and iOS-8 Safari starts by more than 40 percent. slower than iOS 7 and smartphone under the control of “eights” turns on for almost 40 seconds, or about 10 percent. slower than the same phone running iOS 7.
