Apple released the official version of iOS 15 this Monday. According to data from data analysis company Mixpanel, the installation penetration rate of iOS 15 is lower than that of iOS 14 last year. About 8.5% of users have upgraded to iOS 15. This figure was 14.5% last year. Mixpanel’s data comes from website and application visit statistics, so it is not official data. Apple has not officially announced the iOS 15 upgrade rate. In June this year, Apple’s official data was that the iOS 14 upgrade rate was 85%.
Apple released the first beta version of iOS 15.1 and iPad OS 15.1 to developers yesterday. iOS 15.1 can be downloaded from the Apple Developer Center, or the correct configuration file can be installed for the OTA upgrade. At the same time, Apple also released the beta versions of watchOS 8.1 and tvOS 15.1. iOS 15.1 includes some features originally scheduled to be launched in iOS 15, such as SharePlay.
As an extended version of iOS 15, the new system mainly fixes some system bugs. In addition to iOS 15.1, Apple also released the HomePod 5.1 beta, adding lossless audio and Dolby Atmos support to HomePod and HomePod mini. The HomePod beta software is an invitation-only version and is only available for testing by developers.
Apple said earlier this year that for various reasons, it will not automatically push iOS 15 to users, and pointed out that it will continue to provide security updates for iOS 14 after the launch of the new operating system. Users still using iOS 14 will see two software update options in the settings, one is the latest iOS 14 version with bug fixes, and the other is iOS 15.
