Digital advertisers could soon see impact
San Francisco, CA & Dublin, Ireland; Thursday, 21 September 2017: iOS 11 has rocketed to over 6% internet usage just two days after launch, according to independent web analytics company StatCounter.
Its research arm StatCounter Global Stats finds that iOS 11 reached 6.2% of all iOS versions worldwide Wednesday.
“Apple is good at migrating users to its latest iOS upgrades but this performance is particularly impressive,” commented Aodhan Cullen, CEO, StatCounter. “To put this in perspective, Android’s latest edition Nougat is at 14.6% of all Android versions over a year after launch.”
Cullen added, “Such is the rapid rise of iOS 11 that digital advertisers could soon see an impact due to a feature called Intelligent Tracking Prevention that makes it harder for advertisers and publishers to track users online.”
Safari accounts for almost a half of mobile web traffic in North America and a just over a quarter in Europe, according to StatCounter.
