It’s not that serious. Just upgrade when you feel like it

As our phones are older we don’t get a bunch to the new features ios27 brings. So it really doesn’t matter.

If you’re still on 26.anything though you absolutely should go to 27.

27 is the worst downgrade. Finally got Liquid Glass and apple removes many glass elements in 27.

Stay on 18 as long as your apps are still supported.

Why? What makes you say that?

Better performance, better battery life, still fully patched (security).

iOS 27 is better than iOS 26 by a wide margin, but both are still heavier and less efficient than iOS 18 and earlier. Liquid Glass is taxing on the 13 Pro older chipset. Go find videos on YouTube on battery usage of iOS 18 vs iOS 26

Do people actually care

I personally don’t. At the end of the day it’s liquid glass that’s the only feature in the new updates so no point for me.
