Close iOS 8.3 verification iOS new version system occupancy rate exceeds 40%

On Tuesday, Apple quietly closed the verification channel for the iOS 8.3 system, preventing users from downgrading their devices from iOS 8.4 to version 8.3 through iTunes.

It is worth mentioning that Apple closed the iOS 8.3 verification only one week after the release of iOS 8.4, which is quite quick. Of course, this also shows that the company is confident in the stability of iOS 8.4. In addition to ensuring that users use the latest version of the system, iOS 8.4 also brings Apple Music, the company's main product. When you open the player for the first time, Apple will ask you whether you want to subscribe to this service.

After the three-month free trial, Apple will charge users $9.99 per person per month, or you can subscribe to a 6-person family sharing package for only $14.99 per month. Beats 1 is free to the public, but the service will still encourage people to use Music or iTunes Store. Even without Beats 1, the Music app in iOS 8.4 brings many improvements, including a MiniPlayer that can always be in the foreground window and updates to browse other albums and music lists.

At the same time, it is precisely because of the Apple Music brought by iOS 8.4 that more users have been attracted to upgrade their experience. According to data from foreign market research company Mixpanel, this version accounted for more than 40% of all iOS system versions within a week of its release.

Apple also pushed the third beta version of iOS 9 to developers today. The specific version number is 13A4293g. Developers of iPhone, iPad, and iPod devices can go to the official support page to download it.
