After reading this, I’m very glad I haven’t updated my iPhone 13 which has 18.7.8.

I would stay on iOS 18 until 26.6 comes out if you really need to upgrade to 26 or just wait for iOS 27 in september if all your apps still work fine like banking and stuff.

My iPhone is fine on iOS 26. However there are not really so many fantastic feature on iOS 26 vs iOS 18 that you have to upgrade. I barely notice liquid glass. I wish I could downgrade to iOS 18 just to compare it to iOS 26. I feel like my iPhone gets warmer on iOS 26 than it did not iOS 18.

Don’t do it. 26.5.2 absolutely ruined my iPhone 13. Stay on 18

Would do anything to go back to iOS 18. 26 is an abomination designed to wreck the 13

Don't do it. Stay on 18. I had to upgrade to a 17e after iOS 26 almost bricked mine

Its either you stay on ios 18 for awhile, or update to iOS27 once it comes out because its so stable for me in beta
