However, the rates that Mixpanel offers us can be compared to last year when adoption was divided between iOS 12 and iOS 13.
As of today, September 22, and at the time this article is being written, the adoption of iOS and iPadOS 14 reaches the 29%. El 63% still have iOS or iPadOS 13 installed on your device. The rest of the device, 8% have an older version installed.

If we analyze the adoption of iOS 13 last year on these dates, one week from the official launch, it was 20%.
