14 DAY TRIAL // Apple has finally released some updated numbers to provide us with a closer look at the iOS 15 adoption, confirming that its new operating system version isn’t necessarily as successful as its predecessors.
In other words, not everybody is rushing to install iOS 15, and looking at the so many bugs experienced since its release, it’s really no wonder why.
iOS 15 has caused massive problems, especially on CarPlay, with users complaining of all kinds of glitches from crashing apps to random disconnects. The most recent version of iOS, namely 15.2.1, introduces fixes for many of these bugs, therefore finally offering the experience that should have been there from the very beginning.
iOS 15 adoption
As for the iOS 15 adoption, the new Apple data for the devices introduced in the last four years reveals that 72 percent of these iPhones are currently running iOS 15. 26 percent of them are still on iOS 14, so these users are just sticking with the previous version of the operating system, while 2 percent are currently running an even older flavor of iOS.
The iOS 15 adoption figures are even lower in the case of the entire iPhone base. Apple has also provided data for all supported iPhones, revealing that only 63 percent of them have been updated to the new version of the operating system.
iOS 15 supports iPhone 6s and newer, just like iOS 14.
But when it comes to iOS 14, Apple claims that 30 percent of all iPhones out there are still running it, while 7 percent of the devices are currently sticking with an even earlier release.
It goes without saying the adoption of iOS 15 will slowly but surely increase over time, but hopefully, Apple pays more attention to the polishing that everybody out there needs right now.
