The adoption rate of iOS 15 is estimated to be close to 20%

According to mobile analytics company Mixpanel, since the release of the software update on September 20, the adoption rate of iOS 15 is estimated to have reached 19.3%. Mixpanel measures the adoption rate of iOS based on the number of visits to websites and apps that use its mobile analytics SDK, so this data is not official. Apple has not yet shared the adoption statistics of iOS 15. The last time it reported the adoption rate of iOS 14 was 85% in June.

So far, the adoption rate of iOS 15 still seems to be slower than that of iOS 14. This may be due to several reasons, including Apple providing iOS 14 users with the option to continue receiving important security updates, and several features of iOS 15 have been postponed. And iOS 15 was affected by some early bugs and still needs to be fixed.

For example, Apple said that the issue that prevented some iPhone 13 users from using the Apple Watch unlock function will be fixed in an upcoming software update. This feature is designed to allow users to unlock the iPhone while wearing a mask. However, some users encountered the error message Cannot communicate with Apple Watch.

There is also a bug in iOS 15 that makes performing iCloud backups will cause photos saved from iMessage conversations to disappear from the Photos app. At the same time, some users have also encountered intermittent touch screen issues on iPhone 13 models and other issues.

Apple is currently testing iOS 15.1, which includes at least a fix for the issue of unlocking with the Apple Watch, but there is no timetable for the release of the software update. Apple is likely to choose to release a smaller update, such as iOS 15.0.1, to resolve some of the bugs and security vulnerabilities that have occurred more quickly.
