S2026E26087 - MacVoices #26087: Live! - iOS Adoption: Truth, Fiction, and Misdirection

Apple has debunked media reports claiming low adoption of iOS 26. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Marty Jencius, Web Bixby, Jim Rea, Eric Bolden, and Jeff Gamet discuss the assertion that the data was skewed by Apple's privacy-driven device misreporting. They review how official numbers show strong uptake among eligible devices and debate whether criticisms of the new interface are overblown. While some UI concerns are acknowledged, the group agrees the release offers meaningful improvements and is far from the failure some headlines suggested.
