As the fall release of Apple’s iOS 11 draws near, Sensor Tower App Intelligence data shows that at least 1,900 apps have been updated in the past year with the 64-bit support required to function on the new operating system. These updates have dramatically increased in pace over the past six months, growing by 229 percent over the preceding half-year period.
Last March, a Sensor Tower analysis showed that nearly 187,000 active apps on Apple’s store could be incompatible with iOS 11 due to their lack of native support for 64-bit processors. The majority of the past year’s worth of 64-bit updates, about 63 percent, came in the period of April through July, following the publication of our report.
Of the iOS apps updated with 64-bit support in the past year, approximately 820, or about 42 percent, were games.
