Remember yesterday when we reported that the latest version of Google’s mobile operating system hasn’t even reached 2% adoption after three months? Well lets compare that to today’s report which shows that iOS 8 has managed to find its way on 72% of all iOS devices in the less than five months since its release.

Apple’s newest operating system, iOS 8, is installed on 72 percent of iOS devices almost five months after it first launched in September of 2014, according to new numbers Apple shared on its App Store support page for developers. Installation numbers are up 9 percent since mid-December and have jumped 3 percent since January 20, following the launch of iOS 8.1.3 at the end of the month. As iOS 8 adoption grows, the number of users running iOS 7 has dropped to 25 percent. 3 percent of users continue to use an earlier operating system.
