Four months after release, Apple’s iOS 15 is running on 72 percent of all iPhones four years old or younger, putting this operating system installation behind iOS 14. It also appears that this older operating system no longer receives New security updates.
Of all the iPhones launched in the past four years, 72 percent are running iOS 15, Apple writes Four months after the release of this operating system. More than a quarter of phones are running iOS 14, and two percent are still running older operating systems. Of all the iPhones, 63 percent are running iOS 15.
Both numbers are behind what iOS 14 has achieved in a shorter time. like him Apple calculated in December 2020 That the operating system was running at the time on 81 percent of all devices four years old and older. At the time, 72 percent of all devices were running iOS 14. The iPadOS 15 installation is also behind iPadOS 14.
The fact that iOS 15 installs less quickly than iOS 14 was somewhat expected. Apple has continued to release security updates for iOS 14, which users can install in place of iOS 15. However, MacRumors notes Apple no longer offers this option as a standard. Since iOS 15.2, users can only install this update. For example, phones running 14.8 that want to update can no longer download security update 14.8.1, but only upgrade to iOS 15.2. Apple didn’t say why it stopped doing this, and the iOS 15.2.1 update didn’t bring this feature back. Tweakers previously wrote a file Preview on iOS 15, which includes the changed notifications and the new focus mode.
