Of those devices, iOS 26.1 accounted for approximately 10.6%, iOS 26.2 for about 4.6%, and iOS 26.0 for about 1.1%. Conversely, over 60% of the iPhones surveyed were still running iOS 18. iOS 18.7 and iOS 18.6 made up the majority of active devices.

Compared to the same period last year, iOS 18 was installed on 63% of iPhone devices just four months after its release. This figure was 54% for iOS 17.
StatCounter's estimates are based on web traffic analysis, tracking operating system versions through views across a global network of websites. The report reveals an alarming fact: the usage rate of iOS 26 is significantly lower than previous versions.
In iOS 26, Apple introduced the completely new Liquid Glass design language for the first time. This design was also applied consistently across all of the software platforms developed by the company.
Apple says the Liquid Glass design language is inspired by the visionOS operating system. The system interface and app icons have been redesigned with a more transparent and eye-catching design.
The company also introduced a series of changes to the interfaces of the Camera, Photos, Safari, Phone, FaceTime, and other apps. The lock screen and home screen also offer new display options. Apple stated that the Liquid Glass design language will be used for many years to come.
However, this update also received a fair amount of mixed feedback from users. Many reviews stated that the Liquid Glass interface was difficult to see, the operating system was unstable, and the operation was less smooth compared to previous versions.
