What It Does
Choosing a minimum iOS deployment target is a tradeoff between feature access and audience reach. Set it too high and you exclude users on older devices. Set it too low and you can't use newer APIs. This tool shows the current distribution of active iOS versions based on aggregated device signals, so you can make this call with real data.
