Among the popular reasons to buy an iPhone compared to Android is to look like the updates that Apple provides are fast. Yesterday the operating system was announced, this morning it can be used on the iPhone in hand. iOS 26 was given on September 16, but after almost four months the percentage of iPhones using it is low.
According to Statcounter data, only 15.17% of iPhones are now using iOS 26. For comparison, in January 2025, 63% of iPhones were already using iOS 18, which at that time was the most recent version of the operating system. The iOS 18 operating system consisting of iOS 18.7, iOS 18.7 and iOS 18.5 was 64.62%, which is almost 4 times higher.,
This lower number of iOS 26 usage may be due to several factors such as users who are not happy with the new Liquid Glass interface, which although beautiful is seen as less practical. Apple immediately provided the Tinted option on iOS 26.1 for users who do not want to use the transparent interface. Some have also complained that iPhone performance has been affected since using iOS 26, especially on older devices. If you still haven't updated to iOS 26, what's your excuse?
