iOS 8 adoption slows following broken updates

Apple has updated its App Store to show new statistics for iOS 8, its new mobile operating system. It's not looking good.

9to5Mac reports that iOS 8 adoption has only increased by 1% since the last time Apple published statistics on the operating system. To make things worse, the statistic that Apple published on its developer site excludes a large amount of users who are known to be slow in updating to the latest operating system.

Since September 21, the percentage of mobile devices visiting the App Store running iOS 8 has only changed from 46% to 47%.

The slow adoption of iOS 8 could be due to the broken update that Apple published on September 24. The iOS 8.0.1 update was meant to include improvements and fixes for the iPhone, but instead it stopped users of the new iPhone from making calls, and disabled the Touch ID fingerprint sensor.

Popcorn Time Finally Comes To iOS :-)

Popcorn Time, the so-called Netflix for pirates,is now on iOS. It’s never been easier to watch pirated movies and TV shows on the iPhone or Android device. Is it illegal? Not really. Shady and not exactly ethical? Sure.

Not surprisingly, Apple didn’t give the official nod to this app so Popcorn Time cannot be found in the App Store. That said, it’s still easy to obtain and install the needed software as long as you’re willing to jailbreak your iOS device.

The app works like its desktop counterparts–It provides an easy way to stream pirated content. Just click on a movie to start streaming it to your iPad or iPhone. It’s that simple.
The app is free and there isn’t a monthly fee.Because, you know, piracy.The team is already working on incorporating an integrated VPN service and Chromecast and Airplay support, but the current plan includes rolling out those features in upcoming releases.
