#apple ios 11

Apple announced iOS 12 last month but, before it starts to roll out, the company made an update to iOS 11 which includes a new security feature -- USB Restricted Mode. The USB Restricted Mode is a part of iOS 12's initial loadout, however, Apple decided to bring the feature to iOS 11.1.4 without revealing it in the patch notes. Apple did this to allow users to leave accessories connected to iPhones pass the one hour mark. Apple has reported that as of January 18, 65% of its devices are now running on iOS 11, this is according to new statistics the company shared yesterday on its App Store support page for developers. With iOS 11 adoptions hitting 52% in November and 59% in December, the latest data measured shows that adoption rates are on a steady upward trajectory, gaining about 6 to 7 % per month. In addition, 28% of devices continue to run an iteration of iOS 10, while the remaining 7% are on older versions of the operating system. iOS 11 introduces subtle design changes to interface elements throughout the operating system. Apple dedicated a big chunk of WWDC 2026 to child safety, and the update is the most comprehensive parental control expansion since Screen Time launched.
