Apple Officially Reveals 74% of All iOS Devices Are Now Running iOS 7

While iOS 7 faced a fair amount of criticism after it was revealed, mostly due to the new flatter design that abandons many of the design elements of previous versions, it has nevertheless been extremely popular among Apple’s customers. In fact, according to new data posted earlier today by Apple themselves, iOS 7 is now officially running on 74% of all iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches!

That’s pretty damn impressive on its own – but it’s even more impressive compare to Android KitKat’s fairly pathetic adoption rate. KitKat stands at just 1.1 percent (according to Google’s own numbers, via AllThingsD). You read that right. 1.1%. Yuck. So much for KitKat eliminating Android fragmentation!

It’s also worth noting that 22% of Apple users are still using the previous iOS 6 release on their devices, although it’s unclear how much of that is due to folks owning older devices that don’t support iOS 7, and how much is due to users simply not wanting to update.
