Overall, compared to iOS 16 in the same period, everyone's discussion of iOS 17 has decreased significantly.
The install rate data brought by early third-party agencies also shows that the install rate of iOS 17 is much lower than that of iOS 16 in the same period.
Recently, Apple released the first installs of iOS 17 data, which once again confirmed this.

Data shows that as of February 4, iOS 17 has a 76% install rate among iPhones launched in the last four years, while 20% of users choose to continue using iOS 16 and 4% choose to run an earlier version of the system.

For iPadOS, 53 percent of iPad users have chosen to upgrade to iPadOS 17, and 61 percent of iPad models launched in the past four years have upgraded to iPadOS 17.

Compared to the 81% install rate achieved by iOS 16 in the same period last year, the number of users choosing to upgrade to iOS 17 has dropped significantly.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that iOS 17 didn't bring new features worth noting.
It is worth mentioning that the data shows that the install rate of iPadOS 17 surpassed that of iPadOS 16 in the same period by 3%.
It is widely believed that this may be due to Apple's inclusion of useful features such as custom lock screens and widgets in iPadOS 17, which has attracted more users to upgrade.
