It's less than two months since Android Pie was launched and already 75 percent of Pixel phones are running the latest OS. According to Google Senior VP Rick Osterloh, over 75 percent of Pixel device owners are presently on Android Pie with more updating daily. This is to be expected since Google's devices are often the first to receive the updates right from day one. But the same cannot be said for other Android devices like Samsung because of the huge number of different Android hardware devices. Interestingly, the new Apple's iOS 12 is yet reach that high number of percentage. Instead its adoption rate is just closer to 50 percent.
