iOS 16 Running On 81 Per Cent iPhones Globally, Says Apple Ahead Of WWDC 2023

Data from Apple says that 81 per cent of iPhones in the world run iOS 16 and 90 per cent of all devices launched in the past four years run iOS 16.

Days ahead of the annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 20223, Apple has released its latest iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 adoption statistics. Data from Apple says that 81 per cent of iPhones in the world run iOS 16 and 90 per cent of all devices launched in the past four years run iOS 16. Apple is expected to release iOS 17, the latest iteration of iOS at WWDC 2023.

The iOS and iPadOS usage data has been taken out after being measured by devices that transacted on the Apple App Store on May 30, 2023. Also, around 13 per cent of active iPhones are still running iOS 15 and 6 per cent are running an even older iOS version, according to data from the iPhone maker. Apple further added that 71 per cent of all active iPads are now running iPadOS 16, up from 50 per cent in February.

The tech giant rolled out iOS 16 to the public in September last year; iOS 16 is compatible with iPhone 8 and newer models of iPhones. Apple also revealed around the same time last year that 82 per cent of all active iPhones were running iOS 15.

It should be noted that Apple started rolling out the fifth major update to its iOS 16 operating system (OS), iOS 16.5 which comes with important security bug fixes and brings new additions to the operating system last month. However, iOS 15.6 is not as notable as some of the prior iOS updates and brought battery drain issues for some users. The company is also testing iOS 16.6 beta to fix the issue, some reports say.

Apple's latest iOS 16.5 update is compatible with iPhone 8 and later models. The latest iOS 16.5 update brings the new Pride Celebration wallpaper for the iPhone's Lock Screen to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and culture.

Some of the important bug fixes that are included in Apple's iOS 16.5 update are fixes for Screen Time, Spotlight as well as Podcasts. The iOS 16.5 fixes the bug where Spotlight may become unresponsive, it also fixes an issue where Podcasts in CarPlay may not load content and also fixes the problem where Screen Time settings may reset or not sync across all devices, says a report by MacRumors.
