#ios 10 update

Apple has released official figures of the adoption rate of their latest mobile operating system, iOS 10, and things are looking pretty good. After a few weeks from its  initial roll out, iOS 10 is now running on 54% of total Apple mobile devices including the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch as of October 7. Additional figures given are the 38% share of iOS 9 and 8% of older versions. If you own an iPhone 5 and later, iPad 4th Gen, iPad Pro, iPad Air and later, iPad Mini 2 and later or iPod Touch 6th Gen, you may update to the new iOS 10 for free and enjoy the additional features Apple has put in. Apple has released iOS 12.5.8 to keep key services like iMessage, FaceTime, and device activation working on older Apple devices that can no longer upgrade to newer versions of iOS. The update extends an important security certificate that these services rely on. Apple confirmed the change in its release notes, saying the update ensures continued access to these services on supported older devices. iOS 12.5.8 and iPadOS 12.5.8 are available for a limited list of devices, including the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, and the sixth-generation iPod touch.
