I’ll give you the same response. Sure, eventually users will migrate to the latest version of iOS. But if today’s metrics hold, by this time next year about 85% of our base will be on iOS 15.
Which leaves 10% or so on iOS 14. And 3–4% on iOS 13. And 1–2% on iOS 12.
Percentage-wise, those numbers don’t seem that high. But if you have a major app with, say, 10 million users, then 5% of that number is 500,000. And you try making a case to management that they should abandon a half-million customers just so we can play with some cool new language features.
Go ahead. I’ll wait.
