The last time we looked at how the new operating system iOS 11 is doing, in terms of prevalence, was on 52% of all active iOS devices. These were data from the beginning of November and again confirmed the trend, which clearly shows that the "eleven" is not experiencing as successful a start as its predecessors. Now a month has passed and according to Apple's official data, it looks like iOS 11 adoption has moved from 52% to 59%. The data is measured as of December 4, and a seven-percent month-over-month increase is probably not what Apple expected from the new system…

Currently, iOS 11 is logically the most widespread system. Last year's version number 10 is still installed on 33% of iOS devices and 8% still have some older versions. If we look at how iOS 10 performed at this time a year ago, we can see that it was ahead of the current version more than 16%. On December 5, 2016, the then new iOS 10 was installed on 75% of all iPhones, iPads and compatible iPods.

So iOS 11 is definitely not doing as well as people at Apple expected. There are several reasons for the lower level of prevalence. According to comments on foreign (as well as domestic) servers, these are primarily problems with the stability and debugging of the entire system. Many users are also annoyed by the absence of the option to go back to iOS 10. A significant part also does not want to say goodbye to their favorite 32-bit applications, which you can no longer run in iOS 11. How are you doing? If you have an iOS 11 compatible device but are still waiting to update, why are you doing so?
