Fear of updating my iphone

Hey guys! This is going to sound very stupid, but I have a genuine phobia of updating my devices, whether it’s my phone or laptop, doesn’t matter. In this case, it’s my iPhone 11. It’s currently running on iOS 16.2, and my phone has planned a night update to iOS 18.7.8. I’m so petrified that something might go wrong tonight during the update, for example my storage running out, or my wifi suddenly drops, which causes the update to fail or get stuck, and eventually maybe brick my phone. I have created an icloud backup, and I suppose I have enough storage, but something inside me is still in so much doubt and fear of something happening. Maybe it could be because of the fact that I haven’t updated my phone in years, but idk. If anyone has advice, that would be great! (Please don’t judge)

Update to iOS 18.7.8??

I have an iPhone 11 that’s currently running on iOS 16.2. I have the options to update to either 18.7.8 or 26.6. Personally I want to update to 18.7.8, because I don’t want to lose access to certain apps. But I see many people talking about this error where the update title says iOS 18.7.8, but it actually takes you to iOS 26.6, which left many users confused and frustrated. I absolutely do not want this to happen to me.

Does anyone know if I can still safely update to just 18.7.8, could this bug occur to me also or is this just a rare occurrence? Please I need help and thank you :)

Storage for ios update??

Hello everyone, I have an iPhone 11 (64 GB) and it’s currently running on iOS 16.2. I have the option in my settings to update to iOS 18.7.8. Currently I’ve got around 10 GB of free storage, but I’m not sure if that’s enough. I always look it up on Google, but I always get these AI responses that show me a different answer every single time, so I’m still doubting it. I’m afraid that the current free storage I have isn’t enough for the update.

So I wanna ask, does anybody know how much free storage I need for iOS 18.7.8? The last thing I want is my phone freezing or bricking during the installation process.

Thank you in advance!
