iPhone users not very interested in upgrading to iOS 15, shows installation data

Apple rolled out iOS 15 earlier this week to a wide range of eligible iPhone devices.

Apple rolled out iOS 15 earlier this week to a wide range of iPhones, but it seems people are not very interested in the new software version. According to a new report, the adoption of iOS 15 is breaking away from the past trends when Apple saw record installation numbers for its new iOS versions. As of Wednesday -- which is the second day since the release, the install base stood at just 8.5 per cent, which is dramatically lower than the 14.5 per cent installation of iOS 14 on the second day last year.

Mixpanel, the analytics company, has shared the insights of iOS 15 adoptions for two days since the rollout. But since this data is based on visits to websites and information from apps that use the company’s mobile analytics SDKs, it is not the official data. However, it does give a rough idea of how Apple’s latest iOS 15 is faring among iPhone users because the comparison statistics are based on Mixpanel’s last year’s data. The two-day adoption percentages have a huge difference, and that shows that people this time are not as excited about the new iOS version as they were last year.
