On January 14, foreign media MacRumors reported that Apple now encourages iOS 14 users to upgrade to iOS 15, and iOS 14 users will not get the latest security updates.
At the beginning of the release of iOS 15, Apple said it would offer "a choice between two software update releases" and promised to provide security updates for iOS 14 users. However, after the release of the update for iOS 15, only 72% of the iPhone devices launched in the past 4 years have iOS 15 installed, which is far lower than the installation rate of previous iOS versions.
Some iPhones are reluctant to install iOS 15, indeed because the old iPhone installs the latest more powerful system, the animation may not run smoothly enough, and the app may also have the problem of stuttering. Whether users choose to update iOS 15 or choose from both functions and system fluency.
iOS 15 has been updated with quite a few features. First of all, the most eye-catching may be SharePlay, which is officially Chinese called simulcast sharing. Users can swipe plays, listen to songs, or share screens with each other in FaceTime. This feature is perfect for couples in different places, where both parties can share their own entertainment activities, increase interaction, and bring each other closer together.
Screen sharing can also facilitate communication between users, for example, Xiao Lei often needs to instruct the elders in the family how to use the smartphone, but it is difficult to make an intuitive demonstration if Xiao Lei is not around them. After having this function, the other party's screen is presented in front of you, and Xiao Lei can directly teach the elders how to operate through voice.
The live text function is also very easy to use, it can intelligently identify multiple text content in the picture, and users can quickly select the text content they want to identify. Android side of a number of similar functions, just the text all recognized, and then all exploded, the user still have to choose one by one, the use of experience is slightly worse.
For Xiao Lei personally, co-broadcast sharing and live text are very necessary features, even if it is an old device from many years ago, I will sacrifice some fluency to update the function. Apple wants users to update the new system as much as possible to allow more users to use the new use function, take the same broadcast sharing as an example, both sides can use this function after updating iOS 15, after getting used to this function, users will be more sticky to iOS.
