iOS 15 Now Installed On Nearly 60% Of Devices, Exactly 80 Days After Launch

JustSomebody12 said:
iOS should move from a big update once every year to once every 2 years (or every 1.5 years), and focus on stability and reliability.

They should also drop the idea of letting users remain on every main number version of iOS: this risks creating a fragmented environment, and especially to force developers to support older versions of iOS, which big developers (like Apple, Google, Facebook, etc...) can afford to, but little- and medium-budget developers can't.

From your keyboard to God's in box.
 
Meh. Everything works for me just fine in 14, the few interesting features I saw in 15 aren't available yet, so why upgrade?

What’s up, you Simpanzee? You’re welcome for holding Apple, your favorite company that spent the last year “fighting for Privacy” before announcing local device storage searches, accountable.

Also nice of you to compare Apple to Google and Facebook, the companies we loathe for their practices. That’s why we stan Apple in the first place because they’re not like them. *Or weren’t.

Is there some significance to the 80 days? “Exactly” seems a peculiar adverb to use unless that is a known period of time to measure adoption rates…
 
I have to understand the meaningfulness of a OS adaptation rate to anyone that doesn't earn an apple paycheck.

I wish I’d have held off updating to iOS 15 / iPad OS 15 personally (not that I’d have had a choice with my iPhone 13 as iOS 15 was preinstalled).

iPad OS 15 brings very little in the way of new features, but the amount of bugs it’s fetched in it’s stead are worrisome.

I’d actually be quite glad if iOS 15 adoption rate was slower, because it’s a clear sign that users are aware of Apples lack of care when it comes to polishing up these latest releases.

iOS 15 has been a **** show. The official release is like a beta and the betas are like alphas.

Definitely needs a few more rounds of patching. I think because we are comparing a highly polished late iOS 14 to a slightly buggy early 15 the difference is more pronounced.

Just bothers me that this happens consistently. Why do they need to reinvent the wheel with every whole/yearly update. Seems it should be a step up from the polished final iteration of the last “number” into a newer one. Not this tossing the baby out with the bath water we get every year (every other year if the apple gods smile upon us). But, yes, we do need patches ? Especially with the iPad OS that makes me wonder why I got my iPad Pro on it. Spend money on good hardware only to be annoyed by waiting for the operating system to catch up…or return to proper form.

It's been out for nearly 3 months now. I can see new features being buggy but even old features that worked in iOS14 are broken.

I really like the the updates that IOS 15 and ipad OS 15 brought to the table. Wonder how the official adoption numbers from Apple will compare to these adoption rates.

Wow! That’s pretty impressive.

Indeed, it's MOST impressive, and very interested in the actual rollout percentage from Apple. Considering the initial FUD related to on-device picture scanning fears and negativity associated, I think Apple would be at 80% minimum. Should Apple make a full official public comment that on-device scanning would NOT occur - ever, then these numbers would jump within a week.

That's funny ...

Apple at least informed via their slides at WWDC, when questioned didn't hide the spoke out. Google, MMicrosoft with server side scanning didn't inform their users. I don't see these as being on a equal playing field when it comes to communicating nor valuing their customers. Apple has also official postponed on-device scanning - so it hasn't done anyting to violate privacy, their either looking into another more sound/acceptible method, confirming/designing intrusion practices if they will proceed and governance. Or at least they should, at best Apple could fully scrap this idea.

The other companies didn't pull back just enabled, under hush of 'what they don't know won't hurt em'. Not in the same league.

I agree, I'd prefer polish, efficiency, and stability over new features.

I still see the iPad as a device in search of a problem. No where near as useful as my MacBook Pro, difficult to rapidly input data, difficult to work on without stands and attachments, software is no where near as capable as it's macOS counterparts. It's an extremely good device with incredible performance but it feels kneecapped compared to a traditional laptop. Especially as a MacBook Air costs about the same.

I agree, it is taking too long to fix.

I'm still getting memory leaks on my MacBook Pro that I've had for a month and a half.
 
ios15 is the first version in years that I advised my wife against installing. It's not worth the trouble. She's still running 14.8 without issues. And I kinda wish I could go back.

Conversely, Android 11, 15 months after release is at an amazing 24%

Code: 
 After the release of Android 11 (R) on September 8, 2020, its current share is 24.2%,

Android 10 remains the most popular Android system with a 26.5% share

Android 10 remains the most popular Android system with a 26.5% share. Android 12 is still very new thus there is no statistical data for now

My question is, how are these numbers being generated? Do they reflect all active Android devices or just active phones? I have a handful of Android devices that have task-dependent functions because it was cheaper to implement than an Arduino, but none of them are being used as a smartphone.
 
Maybe has not been perfect, but I’ve been running it on my daily driver iPhone 6S, a 6S+ and iPad Air 2 and from about the 5th or 6 Public Beta it has run exceptionally well.

Extremely happy with hide my email and iCloud private relay. I recommend all of these.
