Over 75% of all Google Pixel smartphones have been updated to Android 9 Pie
The original Google Pixel
In response to the news that iOS 12 had reached a 50% adoption rate across all iPhones and iPads since its launch less than a month ago, Osterloh revealed that Android Pie is currently installed on over 75% of all active Android-powered Pixel devices. This statistic essentially means that iOS and Pixel users update their devices at very similar paces. After all, although iOS 12 has taken less than one month to reach the 50% milestone, the number of users upgrading over the course of its second month of release is set to drop considerably, which means a similar install rate of 75% is to be expected by mid-November.
Obviously, some people will have since upgraded, so the active number of Pixel devices will naturally not match the number of units shipped. However, if Osterloh’s claims of a 75% adoption rate are indeed accurate, Android 9 Pie should officially make its debut when the next Android distribution figures are released. In fact, it may even be a relatively strong debut because, in addition to Pixel smartphones, the OnePlus 6, Nokia 7 Plus, and Sony Xperia XZ2 have all received the update. Moreover, sales of the Xperia XZ3 recently commenced too.
