Apple iOS 7 Adoption Rate Scores 87% of the Active Devices
The team behind the Apple must be rejoicing with the news that Apple’s iOS 7 adoption rate scores 87 percent of the active devices. Surprisingly, Apple users are more active to the latest updates than the Android users as we’ve seen KitKat, not gaining that sort of appreciation. This also means that the Cupertino-based company has been successful brining the users to the new upgrades.
From the launch in September, the iOS 7 has been good to grab users. But when we look at the previous versions of iOS, they seem nothing as iOS 6 stands with 11 percent while the older iOS version holds only 2 percent of the active devices.
There’s not something special with iOS 7, the fact is that Apple has always been seeing quick adoption rate if we look back to the past track. The iOS users find it easy to upgrade to the latest one as there’s not any kind of complex work required. Perhaps, this could be a factor of such a quick adoption rate.

iPhone 6 Recent Gossips – Will 8MP Camera Go?
The iPhone 6 is being floated around like a hot cake, it is because folks want to see Apple’s next thing, will it compete its rivals who just have released one of the high-end devices like Galaxy S5 from Samsung, Xperia Z2 from Sony and HTC is also very keen introducing the worlds’ best smartphone.
Now let’s get back to the iPhone 6, the recent rumors suggest 8 MegaPixel snapper. Sounds ridiculous, where you’re living? In a competition where manufacturers are thinking about going beyond the 50MP. If it gets real, Apple could lose its consumers’ liking.
According to reports at Think Digit, the Cupertino-based company intends to implant 8MP rear camera in its next flagship device. They’re working to improve pixel size rather than increasing the pixel counts on iPhone 6, report says.
It further adds, the color reproduction of iPhone 6 is another thing in Apple’s priority list that caused them to stick with 8MP. It’s a fact that when anyone goes for buying a smartphone, the camera capacity really grabs the attention. Color collection doesn’t make any sense but more pixel counts really make.
Other rumored specs of iPhone 6 include sapphire crystal display (known as a scratch-free material) that could be of 4.7 or 5.5-inch. It’ll pack an A8 Chip processor running with iOS 7.2 but not with iOS 8 (as we’re expecting). It’ll be interesting to see what Apple introduces in the fall of 2014. They should be coming with a device that fulfills the present-day needs as we’ve seen Samsung and Sony announcing some cutting-edge devices that employed 16MP and 20.7MP camera respectively.
