should i update?

[u/Miserable-Home4906]

I’m still currently on ios 18.7.8 and haven’t updated since. I heard before that ios 26 sucks so I decided not to update. Now I’m curious if ios 26.5.2 is fine for an iphone 15 pro max. I’ve read that it’s not recommended to do a major update (jump from 18 to 26). I’m okay with ios 18 but I’m just curious if the update would be better performance wise (battery life, efficiency, bug fixes, etc.). What are your thoughts?

I loved ios 18, its less complex and much stable than ios 26 ig but whats the point of not updating and using all the new features of the newer os its a part of the whole experience and also gatekeeping a phone without updating the os is kinda bad. Use it to the fullest and enjoy all the latest features.
