Apple CEO Tim Cook announced that the iOS 18.1 update is rolling out faster than expected. Speaking ahead of the company’s quarterly earnings call, Cook said that the usage rates of the new operating system are much higher compared to the iOS 17.1 update in the same period last year.
iOS 18.1 usage rate is twice that of iOS 17.1
CEO Cook said that based on just 3 days of data, users are moving to iOS 18.1 twice as fast as iOS 17.1. Emphasizing that the data is still very new, Cook believes that this update rate is based on the artificial intelligence features of the new operating system.
This also comes after iOS 15 received faster upgrades compared to iOS 14 and iOS 16 compared to iOS 15. Of course, it is possible to say that no detailed information is given about iOS 18.1 usage rates on a regional or user basis.
