Nearly 100 days after launch, iOS 16 installation has reached 70% on compatible iPhones according to Mixpanel. Apple unveiled iOS 16 at the WWDC 2022 event and released it to everyone on September 12.
The update includes a personalized Lock Screen experience with widgets and Live Activities, enhanced intelligence with updates to Live Text and Dictation, and improved Wallet, Messages.
As the Cupertino tech giant does not release adoption figures for its software update, Mixpanel gains its data from over three trillion records from website access or app usage since.
Previously, the analyst reported that iOS 16 was installed on 10.45% of iPhones within three days after launch which was better than iOS 15 adoption the previous year.
