Apple posted iOS 18 adoption rates on Friday, that are solely barely totally different from the numbers for iOS 17 a 12 months in the past. The corporate says iOS 18 has been put in on 68 p.c of all iPhones (as of January 21) and 76 p.c of fashions from the final 4 years.
A 12 months in the past, 66 p.c of all iPhones ran iOS 17, so there’s a two-percent uptick for iOS 18 this 12 months. The opposite stat was an identical to immediately’s information: 76 p.c of iPhones from the earlier 4 years had been operating iOS 17 in January 2024.
iPad house owners aren’t transferring any needles dramatically, both. Apple says 53 p.c of all iPads are operating iPadOS 18 (the identical as iPadOS 17 a 12 months in the past). And 63 p.c of the tablets from the final 4 years run iPadOS 18. That’s a notch above the 61 p.c of units from the earlier 4 years operating iPadOS 17 early final 12 months.
Does the minor enhance come from Apple Intelligence wooing just a few additional curious adopters? Sadly, the corporate is mum about how many individuals have opted into its suite of generative AI options.
Regardless, we are able to speculate that Apple needs Apple Intelligence adoption to develop: Within the newest iOS 18.3 beta, Apple is enabling its AI options by default throughout onboarding. (You may nonetheless decide out after that, however it’s a must to dig into settings to take action.) In earlier variations, it was an opt-in function you needed to explicitly conform to throughout setup. That software program may arrive as early as subsequent week.
