14 DAY TRIAL // Apple launched iOS 14 the last fall, and since then, the adoption of this operating system has increased substantially, just like it typically does when Apple releases a new major update.
Given iOS 14 works on the same devices as its predecessor, namely iPhone 6s and newer, many people rushed to install it to get all the improvements that have been included by Apple, including support for widgets, the App Library, and so much more.
And this has paved the way for impressive adoption figures for iOS 14, with new data shared by Apple indicating that right now, the new operating system is already running on no less than 80 percent of all devices out there.
iOS 15 coming in September
In other words, 8 in 10 iPhone 6s and later models are currently on the most recent operating system version, while only 12 percent stick with iOS 13. Only 8 percent of the devices are right now on an older version of the OS. When it comes to the iPhones launched in the last four years, the numbers are even more impressive. Apple says iOS 14 is running on 86 percent of all devices, with iOS 13 once again coming second with 12 percent. This time, only 2 percent of the devices are running iOS 12 or iOS 11.
In the meantime, Apple is already working on a major update for its iPhone operating system that would bring it to iOS 15. Expected in the fall, iOS 15 is likely to receive a preview version in the summer at WWDC, followed by several beta builds pushed to developers and public testers.
For the time being, there’s no information on what could be included in iOS 15, but what we do know is the release is projected to happen in September as per Apple’s typical release calendar.
