Is it really worth upgrading to iOS 18 on the iPhone 15?

It’s alright… my battery got noticeably worse though.

22

Remember that iOS 17.7 isn’t signed anymore. You’ll have to downgrade to a 17.6 beta if you need to go back.

23

Battery’s fine for me. My iPhone 15PM lasts two days, and it’s running smoothly.

24

Switch to American English and join the AI beta, you’ll get the glowing Siri feature. It’s pretty good.

People saying it’s bad probably have older iPhones or battery health issues.

I’ve got a new 16 Pro Max, battery’s fine but the WiFi disconnects randomly, and icons reload every time I switch focus modes. Using my older iPhone 13 till 18.2 comes out. My 3-year-old phone is handling things better than the new one.

I’m waiting till AI is actually useful and available in Europe. Seems like that won’t happen till May next year.

28

Battery on 18.1 is good for me, but it did take about a week to stabilize.

For me, it’s worth it just for the bigger icons.

It might take a few days for your phone to finish background indexing after an update. Just keep it up to date and enjoy.

If you’re on 18.1, be ready for random WiFi drops and icons reloading every time you change focus mode.

Maybe give it a search on Google?
