Apple iOS 7 Runs on 85% of the Active Devices
On Monday, Apple announced iOS 7 adoption rate on its developer site. The new figure is really doing well for its current operating system, that is iOS 7 as it is now being run on 85% of the active devices. iOS 6 declined markedly and scores 12% of the whole iOS devices.
The survey is carried out through App Store during 7-day time period. Analyzing the new figure, it’s suffice to say that iOS 7 is being popular with the passage of time. When it was first announced back in 2013, the adoption rate was 52% which now has been increased up to 85%. It’s far better than Android OS who’s latest KitKat version isn’t that well when compared with iOS 7. It is so because Apple users have always been very quick in updating to the latest upgrade than Android users.
Early in the 2014, iOS 7 accounted for 80% in the January, and 83% in February. So, it’s getting better with the time as it now has been bumped up to 85%. The iOS 7 wallops iOS 6 which now shrinks to 12%, while other versions hold a minor 3% of the all active devices.
It’s likely the iOS 7 adoption rate will go much far as we’ve seen iOS 7.1 coming with CarPlay feature, Touch ID improvements and more. So, it’s a chance that we’ll be seeing it with 90+ percent next time.

Let’s Find What iOS 7.1 Brings
We’ve been seeing Apple releasing minor updates to its mobile operating system since the September launch of iOS 7. These updates were focused to fix bugs, not too much new features. But the iOS 7.1 fills the gap with new features and fixes as well. It’s the first major update brought out by Apple to iOS 7 yet. Well, let’s get into what iOS 7.1 comprises for all of the iOS 7 users.
We’ll start from Apple’s CarPlay announced early in the March, aims to provide iOS touch while driving. This feature has got lots of hype as it has been in the air for last few weeks. We’ve seen the demos of Apple CarPlay from three well-known automobile makers at Geneva Motor Show. It’ll offer iOS users to access Maps, iTunes, GPS routing, Siri and above all the ability to call or text anyone without leaving your hands from steering wheel. Sounds good, doesn’t it?
The thing which should be discussed after the Apple CarPlay is Siri. The update largely focuses on the improvement of Siri. All you need to hold down your iPhone’s home button until you are finished asking question. It’s really important to know when Siri is actually listening you. You are only accepted to Siri when your thumb stays on the home button and won’t listen you when you uplift your thumb. Siri also gets some new voices like UK, Australian English, Japanese and Mandarin.
Your Calendar also gets changed with iOS 7.1 to offer more options. Now, you can know about events by going to the ‘month view’, the revamped ‘list view’ also can be seen. The update also contains enhancement in the Camera App like HDR will get enabled automatically, and this is for only iPhone 5S owners. There are also other new improvements that can be observed in iTunes Radio, UI and FaceTime calls.

Latest Move on iPhone 6 – All You Need to Know About
(Photo : REUTERS/Mario Anzuoni )
After the announcement of big thing ‘GS5’ from Samsung, Apple really needs to do something awesome to stay in the game. The competition is very high as its competitors have come out with some high-end devices that really can give tough time to Apple. It would be a fun to see how Apple will compete its other rivals.
Let’s get into what Apple is prepping for its next flagship iPhone 6. The new phone might come with a large and bezel-less screen, according to many reports floating around the tech dugouts. The Apple’s next Smartphone is likely to come with a sophisticated design that can be seen in the leaked photo. It’s time to put all traditions aside and go for something bigger, I think that’s what Apple is working on to shock its enthusiasts.
Sources close to the news confirm the presence of 8MP rear camera that comprises an ability to take shots even in low light. For many, it would better if Apple goes beyond the 15MP. Following the trends, its competitors such as Oppo is also very keen to cram a whopping 50MP sharp shooter in its next flagship device. So, analyzing the present-day needs, 8MP isn’t a big deal.
The things get vague when another rumor at China’s IT168 talks about 10MP rear camera with f/1.8 aperture. So, we can expect something more innovative as nothing has been written with a permanent ink by the company so far.
Here’s a video demonstration of iPhone 6 that might go well if this idea persists. But, Apple doesn’t like other’s suggestions.
