CHATOLOGY REVIEW UPDATE
The question is: of the 93-percent of active iOS users who are on iOS 6, how many of them are using a 4th-generation iPod touch or iPhone 3GS, and thus won’t be able to update to iOS 7 this fall? Note that there are two devices on Dempsey’s chart that can currently run iOS 6 but won’t be able to run iOS 7: the iPhone 3GS and the 4th-generation iPod touch. (You could preemptively add the new iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and iPad mini that will all ( presumably) be announced and ship this fall with iOS 7 pre-installed.) And it’s great for developers because it means they can have their apps support the latest APIs without fear of losing the vast majority of their potential customer base.īased on some publicly available info from Apple, James Dempsey ( Via Matthew Panzarino) put together this chart showing which iOS devices will be able to update to iOS 7 this fall. It’s great for us users because it means almost all of us are on the latest and greatest version. With iOS 7, however, there is no “light at the end of the tunnel” for those who don’t like the new look.Īpple has stated that 93-percent of active iOS users are on iOS 6. But in that scenario the remnants at least had a light at the end of the tunnel: the hope and expectation that Google would release their own maps app.
Last year there was a holdout of people who didn’t update from iOS 5 to 6 because of the issues with Apple’s Maps app. I wonder how many others, will, like Andrew Kim, switch to a different phone and OS, or else just hold out and refuse to update their current device to iOS 7. So the question is, why now?Īndrew has now had his Windows phone for about a week, and he shares some of the differences (good and bad) between the hardware and the software. However, these things have never convinced me to switch perviously. I frequently say that Nokia has some of the best looking phones in the market today and have also publicly shown my admiration for Windows Phone. Last week, I went to a Microsoft Store and bought a Nokia Lumia 920.
