苹果（Apple）设备用户下载最新移动操作系统iOS 8的速度正在放缓，明显不敌前几个版本，这显示出对于新系统首发时出现的程序漏洞，用户似乎仍然心有余悸。
Apple device owners are slower to download iOS 8, the latest mobile software update, than previous updates, indicating that they may be scared off by a buggy and embarrassing launch.
周二，科技巨头苹果公司在其开发者网站上发布了一组最新数据。数据显示，自iOS 8操作系统于9月17日高调发布以来，所有的苹果移动设备中仅有47%已在运行新版系统。这与去年iOS 7发布时的盛况形成了鲜明对比——根据数据分析服务商Mixpanel的统计，同样是在发布后两周半的时间里内，iOS 7的用户下载率达到了70%。
On Tuesday, the tech giant revealed new data on its developer support web site indicating that 47% of all Apple mobile devices currently run iOS 8, which was released on Sept. 17 to much fanfare. That’s compared with iOS 7, which was downloaded by 70% of user during the same two and a half week period last year according to the data analytics service Mixpanel.
用户对苹果最新移动操作系统反应谨慎，原因很可能出在iOS 8的漏洞重重上。在名为iOS 8.0.1的小幅更新版本推出后，很多用户反映，更新后通话和网络功能受到影响，苹果的指纹识别技术Touch ID也无法使用，这使得iOS 8.0.1一下子处于风口浪尖。苹果对此迅速作出反应，立刻从应用商店下架了新版系统，并修复了漏洞，在一天半之后发布了修订版供用户下载。
The likely reason behind slower adoption of Apple’s latest mobile software has to do with iOS 8 itself. A small, incremental software update to iOS 8, dubbed iOS 8.0.1, quickly made headlines after many users complained that it disabled cell and data service, as well as Apple’s fingerprint-recognition technology, Touch ID. Apple quickly pulled the update from its app store, fixed the bug and made it publicly available a day-and-a-half later.
新版系统的问题对苹果而言无疑是一次沉重的打击，该公司本欲借新款智能手机iPhone 6 和 iPhone 6 Plus发布之际，向用户隆重推出这款新的操作系统，没想到最后却演变成了一场公关危机。
The problems with the update marked a major stumble for Apple, which had hoped to showcase the new operating system while selling the latest versions of its smartphone, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Instead, it turned into a public relations nightmare.
显然，早期升级用户所遇到的问题让相当一部分的iOS用户顾虑重重，不敢贸然更新从苹果提供的数据中不难看出这一点：新版系统发布后不到一周，苹果就曾宣称，所有的iPhone、iPad和 iPod设备中，运行iOS 8系统的用户比例占到46%。但是截至本周，这一数字仅增加了1%。
It’s clear a significant number of iOS users remain wary about suffering the same kind of glitches that some early adopters did. Case in point: Less than a week after its release, Apple reported that iOS 8 was running on 46% of all iPhones, iPads and iPods. But as of this week, that figure saw a mere 1% uptick.
