Is IOS 18.6.2 still safe on the 12, or should I upgrade to the 27?

I haven't updated my iphone 12 since ios 18.6.2 because the battery health was rapidly worsening—and funnily enough, it stabilized at 69-70% health and has been the same for a year now. Will updating to ios 27 nuke my battery? I really don't want to have to get a new phone anytime soon, and since I stopped updating, I swear all of the problems (quick battery drain, overheating) stabilized. How unsafe is 18.6.2 security wise?

Is it worth getting iPhone 12 in 2026?

I am mostly an android user and currently using a Samsung Galaxy A32 5G. However it has a cracked screen, poor battery life and broken GPS Location sensor. My previous Android phone was a motorola and I had that 6 months ago and sold it because it got really laggy that it started to get frustrating.

I was thinking of trying iPhone this time and I personally love the look of liquid glass and would love to use it. However what I am afraid of is all the software dropping support in like 2/3 years time and then the phone becomes useless because all apps need new iOS version. That's what happened to my friends iPhone 6s

Meanwhile android phones tend to support software for much longer.. for example WhatsApp still works on android 6 from like 10 years ago.

My other option is a Google pixel phone, but I'm not sure..

I was also thinking of iPhone 11 but I prefer to have USB type C, hence the iphone 12.

I'm currently looking in the used phone market as iPhone 13 and above is too expensive for me. I really want to get rid of this galaxy a32 soon as it's just becoming hard to use.

Thanks.

Low ear speaker volume

Model: iPhone 12 Pro
iOS 26.6.1

Hi all,

Weird issue where the volume for only calls through my ear speaker is insanely low.

Anyone experience this? It seems to be at full volume when watching YouTube and playing music.

Have peered through so many settings and nothing is working.
Rebooted the phone
Tried cleaning out the physical grill
Ringtone is set to Max
Volume up to max on rocker on a call

Please help!!!!!

Any thoughts?

Iphone 12

My iPhone 12 has a weird issue / when I am connecting to wifi, then the call should be very clear and crisp, but if I switch on mobile data and turn off the Wi-Fi or just use the phone without internet connection and make call then the coal Voice will be echo, repeating the first word again and again like someone say hello, the just repeating this word, hello hello hello hello hello hello, and after that, the call should be disconnected. I checked the RSRP value and that is the problem. The RSRP value is most of the time is around -110 and I recently changed the housing with the original one, and then this issue come if anyone has the same issue and he know how to fix it, then please guide me
