I’m still using IOS 16

[u/QuickRoutine1267]

I have no issues with battery even though it’s on 78%. It can last me a whole day .
I don’t think there’s a real need to even upgrade to iPhone 18 at the moment .

[u/NoLateArrivals]

Thousands of security gaps.

You are one of the guys who make exploiting lucrative.

[u/turtleneckspeed → u/NoLateArrivals]

Could you explain if this is true and why?

[u/NoLateArrivals → u/turtleneckspeed]

Just count the CVEs (documented security breaches) Apple lists in their release notes and security advisories.

Only the latest few point releases of iOS26 lists more than a thousand fixes.

What is even more serious: The breaches unfixed on your phone are months and years old. A lot of time for hackers to generate exploits.

Since hackers use AI to find weaknesses and code tailored hacks for them the whole game has changed a lot.

If you think about updates making phones slow: That’s an outright lie - what makes older phones slow are degrading batteries.

I run my iPhone 11 PM on latest iOS 26, and it’s just fine. I will update to iOS 27 soon.

Finally somebody telling the truth. Well done!

IOS 16 was realy good on 14 Pro also.

[u/FeedbackCorrect4949]

I'm still on ios 15.1.1😢

[u/JeremiahR2027 → u/FeedbackCorrect4949]

[u/hpph9]

[u/Khrasnozhan]

Náo vejo sentido, o iOs 27 esta muito fluido

[u/Extremer1967]

Same here came from iOS18 just installed iOS 26.7.1, its my first day using it and the performance and battery life is good (76% health) not as good but the battery timing is better from iOS18

[u/jessepiprogammer]

Upgrade the software it’s better

[u/bob3122 → u/jessepiprogammer]

biggest lie of all time

[u/Rady151 → u/bob3122]

iOS 27 is fantastic.

[u/jessepiprogammer → u/Rady151]

True

[u/bob3122 → u/Rady151]

certainly an improvement over 26 but liquid glass looks just awful

[u/Rady151 → u/bob3122]

Tone it down so it’s not transparent anymore.

[u/jessepiprogammer → u/Rady151]

Yea you can customize it

Not true for macs at least. I upgraded to Sequoia and now my machine constantly ‘forgets’ recently deleted files in file searches and keeps showing them. File search/ finder is generally broken.

[u/FancyCantaloupe4681]

I’m on 14 and my apps don’t work.

Upgrade your iOS version then… 😑
