Apple's iOS mobile operating is now the third most popular platform on the Internet, according to data from Net Applications.
Computer World relays information from the company that found iOS to be six times larger than Android and account for 1.1% of all hardware on the Internet last month.
For the month of August, Linux fell to a 0.85% share, the third month in a row that the open-source operating system lost ground. Windows and Apple's Mac OS were the No. 1 and No. 2 operating systems on the Web, with 91.3% and 5%, respectively.
"It's something to take note of when a mobile operating system passes something that's been around forever," said Vince Vizzaccaro, a Net Applications vice president, talking about iOS overtaking Linux. "Mobile's growth curve is strong, and mobile is becoming quite a phenomenon on the Internet."
