Apple Inc. on Wednesday said that 55% of iPhones introduced in the past four years are running iOS 13, the latest version of the company\u2019s mobile operating system.<\/p>\n
The company shared the data on its website for third-party developers. It also reported that 50% of all iPhones are on iOS 13, while 33% of iPads are on iOS 13. Some older iPhones and iPads are no longer supported by the latest software.<\/p>\n
The four-year metric is important because that\u2019s typically when people upgrade to new iPhones. Once people stop receiving new software updates, they\u2019re more likely to buy a new handset from Apple.<\/p>\n
Apple likes to tout upgrade numbers in comparison to Google, which sees much slower adoption when it updates its Android operating system.<\/p>\n
iOS 13 added features like Dark Mode and a new Find My app to the iPhone, while the iPad gained a better web browser, file management app, and an updated Home screen.<\/p>\n
Despite users quickly upgrading to the new software, some consumers have been complaining about bugs.<\/p>\n
Apple has already released four updates to iOS 13 since the initial release on Sept. 19. Another update, iOS 13.2, is already in beta testing with developers.<\/p>\n
iOS 13.2 adds the ability to opt out of Siri recordings and switch between video recording resolutions on the iPhone 11 within the camera app.<\/p>\n
