Apple has published new statistics that shed new light on iOS 7 adoption. According to its Developer Support website, iOS 7 accounts for 87 percent of all clients accessing the App Store during a seven-day period ending April 6, 2014. in March iOS 7 adoption was 83 percent. By comparison, iOS 6 accounts for 11 percent of App Store access and earlier versions of iOS, just two percent.  87 percent adoption is a pretty amazing accomplishment given that iOS 7 was released on September 18, 2013 – less than seven months ago.  Google, on the other hand, notes that only 5.3 percent of its users are running Android 4.4/KitKat, which came out a month after iOS 7. The bulk of Android users – 61.4 percent – are running some variant of Jelly Bean (Android 4.1, 4.2, 4.3).
