The IOS 17 nightmare is soon finished for Apple

The apple firm has just presented iOS 18, and the least we can say is that it is loaded with new features! There are only a few months left in Apple before deploying this major upgrade to all of its users. The latter will probably be able to install it in September, and in view of what has been announced, we imagine that it will have a great success, probably more than IOS 17.

About iOS 17, we have reported its adoption rate twice already:About a month after its release in October 2023,Then in February 2024. The conclusion was final: iOS 17 is the victim of a less good adoption on these two periods than its predecessor iOS 16.

We had moreoveranticipated this in April 2023Even before the presentation of iOS 17. During this period, rumors already claimed that the upgrade to iOS 17 would not bring a lot of novelties. Today, we are entitled to an update concerning the adoption of iOS 17, thanks to a report which has just been posted on the Apple website for developers.

Still not better than IOS 16?

From now on,In June 2024, iOS 17 would be installed on 77 % of iPhone, when he was on66 % of devices in February 2024. So certainly, there is a slight progression here, but if we compare these data with that of iOS 16, it is not better.

In February 2023, iOS 16 was installed on 76 % of the iPhone, and in June 2023, it was on 81 % of Apple Smart Smartphones. If we only count the iPhone bought in the past four years, the adoption rate for iOS 17 climbs to 86% in June 2024.

Global adoption statistics to date

Here are the data concerning the general adoption rate of iOS to date, in June 2024, as reported by 9TO5MAC:

“Iphone introduced in the past four years

9TO5MAC adds "Apple publishes this data so that the developers better understand what versions of the operating system they must support with their applications.»

Soon, iOS 17 will only be a bad memory for Apple. We will probably long remember this version. Between the European Union DMA, which pushed Apple to review all its policies, and thebug that made the photos reappear, we imagine that the apple firm is in a hurry tomove on!
