According to the App Store Distribution page 56 percent or the majority devices were running iOS 8, followed by 40 percent running iOS 7, and 5 percent running earlier versions. This translates to 101 percent, so it's apparent Apple has rounded off figures incorrectly. The numbers reported by Apple definitely show a rise in iOS 8 adoption if compared to the numbers shared by Apple in September
Earlier, 49 percent or the majority devices were running iOS 7, closely followed by iOS 8 (46 percent of the devices), and the rest on earlier versions (5 percent). In early October, according to some third-party tracking sites, iOS 7 had a better start than iOS 8. One firm reported that iOS 8 had hit an adoption rate of just 7.3 percent in 24 hours of its public release, compared to 18.2 percent for iOS 7, and 14.8 percent for iOS 6.
