Should I update from iOS 16.2 to 18.7.8 or iOS 26.5?
Hello there,
I have been using the 14 model for a few years now and it is currently at 78% battery health. I am considering replacing the battery at some point rather than buying a new model.
Normally I never update software to avoid wasting storage and preserve battery as I use my phone for basic stuff (music, photos, social media).
However I cannot update or install some apps since I need at least iOS 17 which made me consider updating to one of the 2 options mentioned in the title.
Should I first update to 18 and see how it goes, or straight to 26.5? I have 24GB of storage left, keep that in mind.
I am aware battery will suck for a day or two, but i do not want it to get worse substantiallt forever because of it.
What should I do?
I am not really a tech savvy person, keep this in mind.
