Study finds why people aren't upgrading to iOS 26
"According to a new survey conducted by SellCell on 2,000 US-based adult iPhone users this month, 22% haven't upgraded to iOS 26 yet, despite it being available since September. The main reason is not knowing about it, followed by thinking the iPhone would update automatically. Battery life getting worse is also a reason, followed by people simply not wanting the new Liquid Glass design. People are also concerned about their iPhone getting slower after the update."
"61% of users don't update right away, most of them waiting a bit to see if there are any huge issues reported. There are also people who think the update will be performed automatically, and others who only update when they're forced to. Interestingly, only 28% of those surveyed claimed nothing put them off iOS 26, which means 72% have at least one concern about it."
22% of US adult iPhone users have not upgraded to iOS 26 even though it has been available since September. The top reasons are unawareness and the belief that the iPhone would update automatically. Battery life degradation and perceived slower performance are major concerns, and many users dislike the new Liquid Glass UI. Sixty-one percent delay updates to watch for reported issues; some expect automatic installation or update only when forced. Only 28% reported no reservations, meaning 72% have at least one concern, including difficulty downgrading after updating.
