In planning for Roomie X, because it is a different app with more changes than usual, and the current app will exist for current users if they are on older iOS versions, one thing that could certainly accelerate the adoption of various UI improvements would be moving directly to iOS 26. This would mean skipping iOS 18 as the baseline that would normally occur this year. In general, each year we have some number of stragglers that finally evens out a year later which is why we have a 1-year-back compatibility policy. So I thought I'd take a poll as we're about to engage in what may be some pretty major UI changes as to whether requiring iOS 26 in the Fall, as part of a separate app Roomie X (name TBD), with the old app deprecated but still available to existing users, is viable. This poll just gets the idea of your migration timing. We also have lots of Apple data for the whole user base on this question from prior years, so I'm trying to bring that together with the future and feelings on iOS 26.
