76% of modern iPhones now run iOS 18


iOS 18.2.1

Currently, 76% of modern iPhones – those released in the last four years – and 68% of all iPhones run iOS 18.

Andrew Orr for AppleInsider:

The latest operating system, iOS 18, has matched its predecessor in overall adoption, with 76% of iPhones over the past four years and 68% of all iPhones now running the software. In comparison, iOS 17 achieved the same 76% adoption rate for new devices in February 2024, but fell short of iOS 16’s performance in a strong year, iOS 17 achieved higher adoption in the similar deadline.

Meanwhile, more than half of all iPads – 53% – are now on iPados 18, while 63% of newer iPads have upgraded. Despite these steps, around 27% of iPads remain on iPados 17 and 10% continue to use older software.


Macdailynews takes: Even with Apple Intelligence, the features slide slowly, there’s a big jump from iOS 17 to 18, so the strong adoption rate is no surprise!
