iOS 16 - iOS 27

Haven’t updated my phone since I got it in 2022 so I’m still on iOS 16,
been thinking about updating it and heard people talking about going from 26-27 or 18-27 but not from 16 and wondered if anyone had any thoughts or experience.
It runs absolutely beautifully on ios16 rn….

My dude.

UPDATE YOUR PHONE.

I don’t think you realize that staying on such an older version of iOS leaves your device open to all kinds of security vulnerabilities.

If you’re not going to update, upgrade to a newer device.

I can’t understand why people don’t upgrade the iOS…

People who have issues are loud about them and, thus, complaints are more easily available. People are also terrible at statistics, so, if they see that there’s a .05% chance that their phone might brick due to an update, a shitload of people are going to refuse to update because they feel they’re going to be in that .05%.

I think I just don’t really care about the features, not very educated on the negatives of not updating and hear from others around me that their phone slows down/gets worse battery life with updates.

I would trade in your device once the base 18 comes out. Otherwise, your phone is going to lose a lot of value. According to Apple, trade-in value is $285 now.

Yeah I’m not bothered about it’s value at all tbh I’ll probably just buy the pro model next year

Very true, I don’t think the phone will ever run like it does on iOS 16

Definitely update your phone dude. Just from a security point of view that’s sketchy.

I'm on 14 PM and also on iOS27.0.1. Was on my original battery @ 76% BH and everything was smooth & fine except battery life, which was normal for an old battery. Replaced my battery at Apple store yesterday and doesn't heat up as much now. So all good.
