iOS 7 Successful Launch

As developers, we were able to download the iOS 7 version ahead of time. We tested our apps over the summer on the new iOS 7 and found them to be compatible. The iOS 7 downloads almost broke the internet. Here’s an interesting excerpt from Chris O’Brien’s LA Times article from September 26th:

“As big as the lines outside Apple stores were for the launch of the company’s two new iPhones were last week, the virtual lines to download iOS 7 may have been even more impressive.

After iOS 7 became available to download last Wednesday, Internet traffic from Apple.com tripled to more than 13% for the average customers of Sunnyvale-based Blue Coat Systems. The company makes hardware and software that helps companies monitor and optimize their Web traffic.”
