Apple saw a record adoption of the redesigned iOS 7 when it debuted in September, and those numbers keep rising. A recent report puts the current version of iOS at a 78 percent installation rate, a gain of 4 percent in the month of December alone. It's a pretty impressive number when you consider that this version of the mobile operating system is only a little more than four months old. By comparison, the most recent version of Google’s OS, called Android 4.4 KitKat, is operating on just over 1 percent of devices, according to a study byChitika released last month.
The widespread adoption of the OS comes partly from the recent launch of four new devices, the iPhone 5s/5c, iPad Air, and iPad Mini, all of which came with iOS 7 preinstalled. The 4 percent gain in December came from users upgrading from iOS 6, the previous year’s version. At the beginning of the month, iOS 6 users represented 22 percent of active devices; now they represent 18 percent.
