iOS 18 has already been adopted by the vast majority of iPhone owners

Statistics lovers, hello. While Apple has released its iOS 18 update (including the first functions Apple Intelligence) for the marketing of its latest iPhone 16s, the firm has been playing statistics games for a few days, offering on Its support page (for developers) Some information on the adoption of iOS 18 and iPados 18 by consumers. All this to point out that yes, the latest versions of iOS 18 and iPados 18 have indeed met their audience.

Notice to figures of figures

Thus, according to Apple, 76% of the devices released over the past 3 years (iPhone 14/15/16) are equipped with iOS 18. On the entire park (counting older devices – that is to say from iPhone XS), 68% of all the iPhone in circulation already use iOS 18. Of course, the second most popular update at present is the previous one: it is iOS 17, which is still used by 19% of users. Just to compare, at the same time last year, 76% of recent devices used iOS 17, while 66% of all market devices were equipped with the last update.

These figures are not very surprising, since Apple has become used to “forcing” the adoption of an iOS update by offering various regular notifications to push users to go to the latest version. However, on iPad, the figures are less convincing: indeed, 63% of all the iPads introduced on the market for 4 years run under iOS 18, while 53% of the entire iPad park benefits from the last update . In parallel, 27% of iPads still run on iOS 17. It therefore seems that the transition to the last update is less important for iPad users than those of iPhone.
