14 DAY TRIAL // Apple has released iOS 16 on Monday, and unsurprisingly, quite a lot of people rushed to installed it on day one.
Data provided by Mixpanel (via 9to5mac), for example, shows that iOS 16 was running on 6.71 percent of the eligible devices after 24 hours, up from 6.48 percent last year when iOS 15 was released.
On the other hand, nothing can beat iOS 14, which continues to be the fastest adopted version of iOS in a very long time, with a 9.22 percent adoption rate after 24 hours.
The adoption of iOS 16 reached 10.45 percent after three days, and this is a significant improvement from 9.68 percent in the case of iOS 15. Again, iOS 14 tops the charts with 14.68 percent.
iOS 16 comes with lots of changes
Needless to say, iOS 16 is a major release, as it comes with lots of new features, including a redesigned lock screen.
With support for widgets, whose look is inspired by the complications on the Apple Watch, the new lock screen feels more dynamic on the iPhone.
“The new Lock Screen gallery features a range of options. Users can choose an intelligently suggested photo from their personal library that will look great on the Lock Screen, or a dynamic set of photos that shuffle throughout the day. Apple collections include iconic imagery from Apple; Pride and Unity wallpapers; a Weather wallpaper to see live weather conditions as they change throughout the day; and an Astronomy wallpaper for views of the Earth, moon, and solar system. Users can also create unique designs with their favorite emoji and color combinations, and with multiple Lock Screens, users can switch between their favorites with just a swipe,” Apple said.
iOS 16 is available today for the iPhone 8 and newer.
