iOS Major Versions

© 2025 TelemetryDeck GmbH Updated 2025-06-01

This chart shows the top major versions of the iOS operating system for each week in the last year. Values are percentages.

For the purposes of this survey, iOS also includes iPadOS, so this data is from iPads as well as iPhones. However, other spin-offs of iOS such as tvOS or watchOS are not included in this chart.

This chart is interactive. Click legend entries to show and hide them.

Some interesting observations are:

  • After its launch in September 2024 iOS 18 has by far become the version with the highest share. It was at 88.03% at the end of May 2025.
  • iOS 17 was the version with a very dominant share of over 87.50% as of end of August 2024. It has dropped to 7.37% as of end of May 2025.
  • Devices with iOS 19 were detected for the first time in April 2025.
