It's likely the high-water mark for the current version of the software for iPhones and iPads as iOS 9 stands by for its first wave of downloads.

A year removed from its bug-plagued launch, Apple's iOS 8 now is running nearly nine out of every 10 Apple mobile devices.
 
That's just in time for it to start giving way to the next version of the software that powers iPhones and iPads, iOS 9, which makes its debut Wednesday.
 
In what is likely its high-water mark, iOS 8 has scored an adoption rate of 87 percent, according to stats that Apple shared Tuesday via its App Store Distribution page. The 87 percent figure includes all the iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches that visited Apple's App Store on Monday, September 14. That's up from the 85 percent seen more than a month ago and the 81 percent reported in late April.

    How can I get Apple's new iOS 9 operating system software on my iPhone? And is my iPhone fast enough to run iOS 9 without slowing down? Should I update to iOS 9.1?

    How to update to iOS 9: The complete guide

    iOS 9, the new operating system software for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, was unveiled during WWDC 2015 in June and finally became available to all on 16 September. You've probably got three questions: can I update my iPhone or iPad to iOS 9, should I update my iPhone or iPad to iOS 9 and (if the answer to the first two is yes) how can I make the upgrade.
    We'll address these questions in that order in our complete guide to iOS upgrades. We've also got details on how to install iOS 9's subsequent updates including iOS 9.1, and whether you should let Apple update your iPhone for you overnight.
