Apple (AAPL) iOS 8 Adoption Nears 50% After First Week of Availability

Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) updated its App Store Distribution page and iOS 8 appears to be seeing some strong adoption.

According to information given by Apple, about 46 percent of users visiting the App Store on September 21st were using the company's week-old iOS 8 operation system.

Some market watchers note that the pace of upgrading is slower than that of iOS 7, but that might be for various reasons, including not being able to get the iPhone 6/6+ right now as well as the sheer volume of devices that have to make the change.

Shares of Apple are lower early Tuesday.
