iOS 15 Nears Estimated 90% Adoption Ahead of iOS 16 Reveal Next Week

According to Mixpanel, iOS 15 has an estimated adoption rate of 88.9% at the time of writing, an increase of nearly 10% from just ten weeks ago. The figures are based on visits to apps and websites that utilize Mixpanel’s mobile analytics SDK, so they aren’t totally accurate. Apple recently disclosed iOS 15 adoption figures in January, claiming that 72 percent of iPhones released in the last four years are running the company’s latest operating system.

Adoption Ahead of iOS 16

iOS 15 had a slower adoption rate than iOS 14, partly due to the fact that it was a smaller version and had a slew of faults when it first went live. iOS 15 improved some system apps and added a revamped Do Not Disturb and Focus Mode system, as well as Live Text.

Apple will show off iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 at its Worldwide Developers Conference next week, which begins on Monday, June 6. The new version is expected to be a big update for users, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. Apple is reportedly considering a makeover of the Lock Screen, as well as upgrades to stock apps, new Apple apps, new forms of interaction, and more, according to Bloomberg. Apple reportedly intends to make significant improvements to iPadOS in order to make it more Mac-like.

While Apple will show out iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 next week, as well as macOS 13, watchOS 9, and tvOS 16, the improvements will not be accessible to everyone until later this fall. Instead, Apple will beta test all of the changes with members of the public beta testing program and developers during the summer. See our comprehensive overview for everything we know about iOS 16.
