While Apple has given users a lot of reasons to upgrade, like new emoji, ARKit-ready apps, and built-in screen recording, there are a number of other reasons some may be holding off.

The iOS 11 update will brick thousands of older apps that haven't been updated to support 64-bit processors. The rollout has also been plagued by more bugs than usual, including a particularly annoying keyboard glitch and battery concerns. There's also the fact that some of iOS 11's best new features were iPad-only.

Between all that and general skepticism many people have about new iOS updates, it's not surprising people have been a little slower to update than in previous years.
