Apple will stop the iOS 14 security updates in response to the low rate of iOS 15 updates

[Mobile China News] We have previously reported that Apple still retains security updates for iOS 14 after the official release of iOS 15, that is to say, if users are not willing to use the new iOS 15, they can continue to use iOS 14, and they can also get normal security guarantees, but they cannot use some new features or meaningless updates. However, judging from the recent news, it may not be very friendly to this part of the "system nail household".

Apple said today that the company will stop security updates related to iOS 14, if users choose to continue to use iOS 14 may be at risk, Apple is hoping that users will update to iOS 15 as soon as possible. Previously, in September last year, Apple issued a statement saying that it would allow iOS 14 users to "continue to use it for a period of time", and now it seems that this time is about four months old.

It can be known that since the update rate of iOS 15 is much lower than expected, it has dropped a lot compared to iOS 13 to iOS 14. Apple does not have much to do about this, they believe that the main reason is that since iOS 14 still has version updates, it is a good idea to stop security updates to the system as early as possible.

At present, the update rate of iOS 15 is only 72%, which is much lower than the adoption rate of previous iOS versions, so it is inevitable that Apple will terminate the update of iOS 14, but for users, it may be a loss of control over their devices.
