Ars Technica had an interesting perspective recently on iOS 18 vs. 26 update adoption -- https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/01/are-people-avoiding-ios-26-because-of-liquid-glass-its-complicated/ . It's a bit of a statistical muddle.

Very unfortunate that Apple has consigned those of us that have devices theoretically capable of running iOS 26 to 18.7.2 . Since iOS 12 is still being patched, perhaps I should fire up one of my old phones and pick up security updates that way, versus subjecting myself to 26.
