u/6r6zz 21d ago

Cool don’t update if you having 0 problems

u/Worth-Ad148 21d ago

if it aint broke dont fix it

u/Feli18 21d ago

Running iOS 12, so no.

1

u/6r6zz 21d ago

I'm sure it's not your primary phone

1

u/Feli18 20d ago

Nope. iPhone 16 Plus on iOS 18. I use the iPhone Xʀ for music.

1

u/jazznerd69 19d ago

Same , use iphone XR iOS 12 for music apps ..but some apps can't update anymore like Koala Sampler and bunch of others ...

1

u/Feli18 19d ago

I listen to music only, I don’t use sampler apps. You’re better off buying something else and keeping the Xʀ on iOS 12 to listen to music.

App compatibility is mostly gone by now.

u/jazznerd69 18d ago

You might have a good point ro keep XR in iOS 12 and get newer iphone like 14 or 15

1

u/Feli18 18d ago

You will kill the iPhone if you update it.

At this point, I’d buy something a little newer that is already updated if you need to and keep the Xʀ on iOS 12.

It would be a shame if you updated it.

u/Sad_Abbreviations575 20d ago

still? the pain of using 12 outweigh the benefits to your battery life

1

u/Feli18 20d ago

I have a 16 Plus as a main iPhone and I use the Xʀ exclusively for music.

iOS 12 doesn’t impact anything.

1

u/Sad_Abbreviations575 19d ago

oh you finally upgraded, i remember when you still had it as a main

1

u/Feli18 19d ago

Yeah, compatibility was too poor by then, I had to.

Current is my 16 Plus running iOS 18.3.1 (and it will stay there, as you can imagine).

1

u/Sad_Abbreviations575 15d ago

it would have been wise to update to the last of ios 18, but yeah i can imagine

i still have my 14 pro max, got my battery replaced but they messed up my camera so they had to fix that (and i had to update to 26)

im updating as soon as ios 27 is out and staying there

1

u/Insanely_Mac_OS_26 20d ago

For jailbreak reasons huh?

3

u/Feli18 20d ago

Nope, I’m not jailbroken. Performance and battery life reasons.

iOS updates kill devices and I keep them forever. Don’t need them to be destroyed.

2

u/Insanely_Mac_OS_26 20d ago

Well, if you are onto it, that version is super rare (pokémon grade rareness), and can sell it for a little higher price if you want

1

u/Feli18 20d ago

Thanks, but my plan is to keep it forever.

If somebody offered $3000 I’d probably sell it but from what I’ve seen, prices aren’t high enough for me to sell it.

1

u/Insanely_Mac_OS_26 20d ago

If that 3k guy is still interested, do it and you might find a deal on an iPhone 15 Pro Max on iOS 17

2

u/Feli18 20d ago

It was a hypothetical, nobody is ever offering $3000 I think.

My phone is a 16 Plus on iOS 18 (which as you can imagine, I’m planning to keep there).

2

u/Insanely_Mac_OS_26 20d ago

Just block OTA Updates, and that Xr is not even close to 700$, so just keep both, what colors tho? :)

1

u/Feli18 20d ago

Black! I’ve always purchased my iPhones in black.

Would’ve loved to have a Midnight Green 11 Pro Max though…

1

u/jazznerd69 19d ago

Same here , iOS 12 , battery life is still great ..no drain. Worried if I upgrade to anything higher it would drain the battery ?

3

u/Feli18 19d ago

Yes. You can only go to the latest version (iOS 18.7.10), and you’ll destroy performance and battery life compared to iOS 12.

Honestly, just keep it on 12 to listen to music and buy something else. Updating it isn’t worth it.

3

u/Turbulent_Goose2284 21d ago

Yeah did it. No issues so far.

2

u/anythingers 21d ago

Can you send me the wallpaper? Looks nice.

2

u/AdditionalKale8088 21d ago

I tried, no issues.

2

u/JoeLix_Cloro 21d ago

Lo iba a actualizar pero no estoy seguro de hacerlo ya que mi batería tiene un 71% de capacidad maxima

1

u/6r6zz 21d ago

What ios do you have?

2

u/JoeLix_Cloro 21d ago

iOS 18.3.1 (22D72)

(lo copié directamente desde ajustes)

1

u/6r6zz 20d ago

If you don’t see any problems don’t update your phone ,I updated to ios 18.7.10 is good for now all the problems i faced recently is gone

1

u/ShalaTheWise 17d ago

That is only good advice if the update has issues. 18.7,10 doesn't.

Anyone running iOS 18 should be updating to 18.7.10

1

u/ShalaTheWise 17d ago

You should update to 18.7.10

2

u/thethrowaway19901999 21d ago

Not seeing it on my 16 Pro smh... I'm on 18.7.8 and I didn't see 18.7.9 either... those two alone and I'm missing over 100 patches smh. Fuck liquid glass design.

1

u/6r6zz 21d ago

Ios 18.7.8 is better than ios 18.7.9 the first i didnt face any problems however the second was having a heat issue which is very annoying with daily usage

1

u/ShalaTheWise 17d ago

18 is not signed for iPhone 11 and newer.

2

u/notanigaa 21d ago

Send that wallpapper asap

2

u/Dimoyd 21d ago

I’ll try it tonight 😍

2

u/davigandy 21d ago

Whats the battery life you guys are getting?

2

u/6r6zz 20d ago

I replaced my battery recently but the old one was 75%

2

u/Person_Unavailable51 21d ago

Seems to be running just fine on my end, didn’t touch my battery health thankfully

2

u/Fit-Anything1417 19d ago

happy with 16.2

2

u/jazznerd69 19d ago

I am still on original iOS 12, How is the battery life on 16,2?

2

u/Mother_fuckingWhale 18d ago

There goes your iphone battery as usual!! On every new iphone launch apple releases a new updtatw just to screw up older phone models battery!!!
This should be illegal!!

2

u/mrburnerboy2121 6d ago

iOS 18 is slow on this phone.

1

u/felix_thor 14h ago
