iOS 26 Adoption: Conflicting Data Reveals Slow Uptake or Normal Trends?
- •Statcounter data suggests unusually slow iOS 26 adoption, with only 16% of users on the new OS after four months.
- •Statcounter indicates over 60% of active iPhones still run iOS 18 versions, primarily iOS 18.7, 18.6, and 18.5.
- •TelemetryDeck data presents a contrasting view, showing approximately 60% of users already on iOS 26.
- •The discrepancy highlights different methodologies: Statcounter uses web-based data, while TelemetryDeck uses in-app analytics.
- •Developers' own app analytics often align more closely with TelemetryDeck's optimistic figures.
Why It Matters: Conflicting data from Statcounter and TelemetryDeck creates uncertainty around iOS 26 adoption rates.
