A recent consumer survey suggests that a sizeable number of iPhone owners remain hesitant to install iOS 26, months after its release. The study, carried out by SellCell among 2,000 adult iPhone users in the United States, found that more than one in five respondents have yet to update their devices. Around 61 per cent of those surveyed said they do not install major software updates as soon as they are released. Just 28 per cent said they had no concerns about iOS 26, meaning nearly three-quarters of participants had at least one reservation. Although iOS 26 continues to gain traction overall, the findings highlight a familiar pattern.
