According to the guys at Mixpanel, iOS 15 is currently on 58% of all supported devices80 days after its public release. iOS 14, meanwhile, is still present on 36% of devices. that can be updated to iOS 15, and that’s really it, since all devices that have been updated to iOS 14 are also compatible with iOS 15.
Mixpanel claims that adopting iOS 15 is a little slower than the previous version, despite the fact that they were practically released on the same date. For the moment, Apple has not announced official data on the adoption of iOS 15. The latest official data corresponds to iOS 14 and was released last June.
At this moment, iOS 14 was found on 85% of supported devices. One of the reasons the adoption of iOS 15 is slower than its previous version is that Apple continues to release security updates for all users who want to stay on iOS 14.
It is clear that users they don’t want to go through the usual bad experiences of new iOS versions
Another reason that probably slowed down the adoption of iOS 15 is that it no interesting features for the user, as these focus on notifications, new designs in Apple apps, and the complete overhaul that Safari has undergone.
In the first few weeks of iOS 15 release, many users reported issues, problems that were quickly corrected. Nonetheless, this is the usual trend in the release of new versions of iOS every year.
