- Daring Fireball: MacRumors: 'iOS 8 Adoption Stagnates Just Two and a Half Weeks After Launch'That marks a very slight increase in adoption over the past two weeks, as back on September 21, iOS 8 was installed on 46 percent of devices. 47 percent of iOS users continue to stick to iOS 7, possibly due to a number of bugs that have plagued the launch of iOS 8.
@daringfireball @gruber While I don't disagree Apple has lost update trust, @DanFrakes is onto something too: https://twitter.com/DanFrakes/status/519504889186369536 …
@daringfireball @gruber it has to do with file size than anything else, right? Who has 4 gigs available on their current devices anymore?
@joeyboxcar @daringfireball @gruber Same boat. I had a LOT of deleting to do on a 16GB iPhone (games, pics, music) and some on a 32GB iPad.
@atomicfern @gruber 8.0.2 claims to be 75mb, but needs 1.5gb of free space for OTA update. On a 16gb phone, that’s crazy.
@mcelhearn @DanFrakes @gruber @ShawnKing iOS8 needed 5GB for me. That's nearly 2x more. As % of 16GB, that's 10% more (7=20%, 8=30%)
@mcelhearn @gruber @ShawnKing It’s 2GB bigger; people have had a year longer to fill up space, apps are bigger, newer phones=larger photos…
@DanFrakes @mcelhearn @gruber @ShawnKing Yup – I’ve been asked how to deal with inadequate space for update by friends. 5GB out of 16GB? Hmm
@daringfireball @gruber you can't install iOS 8 on any device with less than 32 GB of storage without deleting most your stuff. That's it!- @DanFrakes @gruber @ShawnKing Yes, my iPad mini says that the 8.0 .2 update is 944 MB, and that I needed least 4.9 GB of storage.
- @daringfireball @gruber the only reason my friends haven’t installed iOS 8 is the free space requirement.
