According to a new research, 187,000 apps will be obsolete with Apple’s upcoming iOS 11.
Apple Insider reported that Sensor Tower, an app analytics firm, says that around 8 percent of titles on the App Store will be rendered useless with the update assuming that Apple will kill the 32-bit support. It is also believed that the number will be much higher in the real world, as the numbers provided by the company was before the launch of the iPhone 5s back in September 2013.
“Early last month, iOS developers working with the beta version of iOS 10.3 discovered a warning dialog stating that apps not written to take advantage of the 64-bit processors found in every new iPhone since the iPhone 5S “will not work with future versions of iOS”,” the firm said.
The firm also said that most of the apps that would get “killed off” by iOS 11 would be gaming apps, at around 38,600 or 20.6 percent of the total, followed by Education at 10.6 percent, Entertainment at 7.6 percent, and Lifestyle at 6.9 percent.
The Next Web said Apple as early as January this year had warned developers about its plans to make 32-bit apps obsolete in its “future versions of iOS.” Sensor Tower also highlighted in an earlier report that Apple killed off around 50,000 apps that appeared to have been abandoned by users.
Although Apple has yet to comment about the iOS 11, Mashable said the company will most likely so address such concerns and more in its formal launch at the WWDC, which will be held later this year.
