Folks, those who installed. I have an iPhone 11 Pro and would have to see bugs and battery issues after installing iOS 14. Still using the latest iteration of iOS 13. What is your experience? All fine, no bugs, better that 13?
Thank you
 
That is exactly what I thought. Thanks for confirming
 
Second post in a thread, right next after the original post
 
It is ok to install iOS 17 on your iPhone 11, I did that and I have no complains.

Revisit this post in 2023 for confirmation.

Its running great on my 11 Pro Max, haven’t seen a difference in battery life really, but Battery Optimization is actually finally working, iOS 14 seems to fix a lot of stuff that was a little off in 13.

People are making fun of you with sarcasm because a one year old phone is obviously safe to handle iOS14. Either download it and enjoy or stay on iOS13.
 
And I replied to sarcasm with a sarcasm, obviously. It is obvious that the hardware will handle. My question is specific to bugs and battery issues

Make sure your texts, iMessages, and photos are backed up on iCloud, make sure any app with data that can't be restored by simply logging into it has its data backed up and then do a clean DFU restore to iOS 14.0.1 without restoring from your iCloud backup. Sounds scary, but it's really not THAT bad (might consume an afternoon of your time tops). What you'll be left with is a very smooth running installation of iOS 14.0.1 that ought to be free of the usual cruft and issues that you get by doing an in-place upgrade to a whole new iOS version. You'll also get some performance back.

I strongly recommend doing a DFU restore rather than a simple restoring through iTunes/Finder. The reason is that all component firmwares are wiped/updated as well. It's the most invasive and comprehensive wipe you can do on an iOS/iPadOS device and what you're left with is something that works pretty damn well!

In written form in a place like an online discussion forum there's a way to make it obvious and only one of the posts actually did that.
