If reports from various mobile operating system trackers are to be believed than iOS 8 has started with a slower adoption rate compared to its predecessors. Trackers like Mixpanel, Chitika and Tapjoy claim that iOS 8 adoption isn’t as quick as seen with the iOS 7. Mobile usage monitoring firms Mixpanel and Appsee show iOS 8 adoption rate of between 16 and 17 percent, which is half of what we saw for iOS 7 within the first 24 hours.

Apple iOS 8 adoption off to slower start than iOS 7, according to trackers

If reports from various mobile operating system trackers are to be believed than iOS 8 has started with a slower adoption rate compared to its predecessors. Trackers like  Mixpanel, Chitika and Tapjoy claim that iOS 8 adoption isn’t as quick as seen with the iOS 7.   Mobile usage monitoring firms Mixpanel and Appsee show iOS 8 adoption rate of between 16 and 17 percent, which is half of what we saw for iOS 7 within the first 24 hours. Tapjoy reveals that the numbers showing iOS 8 adoption are at a slow rate than iOS 7 as well as iOS 6. Chitika reveals an adoption pace of 7.3 percent, again, slower than the both its previous iterations.   [caption id=“attachment_234727” align=“aligncenter” width=“640”] ![Mixpanel graph showing slow iOS 8 adoption rate](http://tech.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/ios8_mixpanel.jpg) Mixpanel graph showing slow iOS 8 adoption rate[/caption] Now, this doesn’t mean people don’t care about the new iOS version. The iOS 8 adoption rate is significantly high, but it falls short of the buzz created by iOS 7.  The reasons for this slow adoption rate are quite obvious.  Firstly, iPhone 6 and the larger iPhone 6 Plus have received record pre-orders. So, the number of people looking for a replacement won’t really bother updating their devices.   It should also be noted that the iOS 8 isn’t a complete overhaul like the 7th iteration. So, there aren’t many visual changes to attract users instantly. This means, it isn’t as hotly anticipated as its predecessor. Another possible reason could be the iOS 8 requires a lot of space - **read our article to find out why** - that may prove to be a hurdle for many users. “Many users took to Twitter to voice their disappointment that iOS 8 required so much space free on their devices prior to an update, and while a tethered update via the computer and iTunes eliminates this problem, it’s still an additional step that makes things more difficult than they were last year,” points out Techcrunch.   Lastly, it is quite possible that people are trying to download, but may be facing issues like laggy connection or the installation could time out.   iOS 8 was rolled out earlier this week and is also **available to download in India** . Check out the **new exciting features** that make it worth the download. Apple has also included support for third-part apps, you can also read our 4 **must-try Keyboard apps** for Android.
