Last year, only 66% of iPhones ran iOS 17a few months after its launch. Apple's latest update, iOS 18, appears to be following the same trajectory despite its promises.
The first statistics show thatiOS 18 equips 76% of iPhones released over the last four years.A figure slightly higher than that of iOS 17 at the same period the previous year.
Stable adoption despite Apple Intelligence
Across all iPhones in circulation, iOS 18 reached an adoption rate of68 %. Here again, the progression is minimal compared to its predecessor. However, this new version brings its share of innovations.Extensive customizationof the home screen and the integration of Apple Intelligence were particularly highlighted. At least, for countries benefiting from this suite of AI tools.

Let us remember thatin France and Europe,iOS 18 lacks Apple Intelligence,except on the other side of the sleeve. An absence which could partly explain the lack of enthusiasm of users in these regions for the update.
Multiple factors slowing adoption
Beyond the unavailability of Apple Intelligence in certain countries, other elements may explain this lackluster adoption. Users are increasingly cautious about updates, fearing bugs and slowdowns.
In addition, the rate of iPhone renewal tends to slow down. Users are keeping their devices longer, putting off installing the latest versions of iOS.
If you are still on iOS 17 in France, the update to iOS 18 still brings its share of improvements. Even without Apple Intelligence,the new customization options are worth checking out.
