Apple’s iOS 8 is now installed on 63% of all iPhones and iPads, with adoption rates jumping as the company gets to grips with a series of bugs and issues with its mobile operating system.

According to official figures released via Apple’s developer pages, the number of iPhones and tablets running iOS 8 rose by 7% from November. iOS 7 has dropped to just 33% of devices, while just 4% are using older editions of the software.

The latest adoption numbers come as [Apple releases iOS 8.1.2](/mobiles/news/2014/12/applereleasesios81_2/(), its latest build of the software, designed to tweak the platform and fix a number of small bugs, including lost ringtones.

Growing adoption will doubtless please Apple as it looks to release iOS 8.2 in the new year, which includes its WatchKit software development kit for the forthcoming Apple Watch.

That major update could come as soon as February if some rumours are to be believed.

iOS 8’s widespread adoption also throws into sharp contrast Google’s struggles with Android fragmentation.

Its operating system is now spread over a series of versions, with the latest, Lollipop, on fewer than 0.1% of devices despite being out over a month.

Apple has unexpectedly rolled out the latest version of iOS 8, iOS 8.1.2, despite opting not to hand over the software to developers for pre-release testing.

The minor update is designed to fix a problem that has seen some users lose ringtones purchased via the iTunes store. Other generic bug fixes are included too.

With developers now busy working on iOS 8.2 and new WatchKit tools for the Apple Watch, it seems this update was deemed small enough not to need widespread stress testing.

Time will tell if that’s a wise move by a company that’s been dogged with complaints about iOS 8 since it landed.

iOS 8.2 is due for release in the new year to coincide with the launch of the aforementioned Apple Watch.

Apple is also said to already have iOS 8.3 in the works, reportedly designed for its long–awaited 12.2–inch iPad Pro and featuring split-screen multitasking for the tablet.

The launch comes after Apple revealed iOS 8 was now installed on 63% of all iOS devices.
