Foreign surveys show that people are not very interested in iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 systems

      On the morning of June 22, a new survey by SellCell, a foreign mobile phone price comparison website, showed that users do not seem to be so interested in Apple’s upcoming iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 systems.

　　The survey polled 3,000 iPhone and iPad users in the U.S. aged 18 and over, split evenly between men and women, to ask about their opinions on “iOS 15,” “iPadOS 15,” and the naming of the upcoming iPhone series.

　　More than 50% of respondents said they were only “mildly” or “not at all” excited about the ‌iOS 15‌ and ‌iPadOS 15‌ updates. 28.1% found the updates “somewhat” exciting, and only 19.3% were “very” or “extremely” excited about them.

　　In iOS 15‌ and iPadOS 15‌, 23% of users said the most exciting upgrade is ID cards in the Wallet app, 17.3% of users are most interested in enhanced Spotlight search, and 14.2% of users are most interested in the new "Find My" feature.

　　Few respondents were fascinated by the new features of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15. Less than 1% of respondents considered iMessage's "Shared with You" feature, the upgrades to the health system (including fall risk indicators and data sharing), and improvements to Apple Maps (including more traffic details and AR walking directions) as the best new features. Spatial audio, screen sharing, grid view and portrait mode, a redesigned notification system, and improvements to FaceTime only attracted about 5% of respondents.

　　When asked what features respondents thought should be added to iOS 15‌ and iPadOS 15‌, 32.3% said there should be interactive widgets, 21% said there should be an always-on display feature (showing the time when the screen is off), 14.9% said professional apps like Xcode or Final Cut Pro should be added to the iPad‌ system, and 13.2% said there should be better external display support for the iPad‌.

　　It should be said that the software system itself is not as attractive as hardware, so it is normal that the survey data is relatively general.

　　In addition to the iOS 15‌ and iPadOS 15‌ updates, the survey also investigated the naming of the upcoming new iPhone. As we all know, 13 is not an auspicious number abroad. As many as one in five iPhone‌ and iPad‌ users said they would postpone changing their phones because of the name "‌iPhone 13‌". 26% of people think "‌iPhone 13‌" is the best name, and most of the responses believe that the devices should not be called "‌iPhone 13‌": 38% said Apple should simply call its next smartphone series "‌iPhone‌ (2021)", and 13% thought it should be called "‌iPhone‌ 12s".
