Still on iOS 17.7.2

Really?! 🤔

I'm still hesitant upgrading to iOS 18, cause I don't want to risk my meanwhile acceptable performance of iOS 17.7.2.

Once I make this step, there is no way back to 17 and then I read posts like this one:

and don't want to fall in Apples finely woven update trap of no way back! 👿

BTW: Why can I install older macOS versions, but not older iOS versions? 😮🤦‍♂️

I see your posts everywhere.... DO NOT DO IT, I promise you will regret it. I wish I could go back now

Ok, ok, I'll stay on 17.7.2, no matter what! 🤝

Thank you for holding me back! 👍

Guys, if you want to update to iOS 18 doing a clean install, hurry up because Apple will probably stop signing iOS 18.6.2 in a couple of hours. Maybe you’re lucky and have an extra day or two but… if you want to restore the phone with the 18.6.2 IPSW, do it now.

There’s no IPSW of 18.7 but you can update to it via OTA. However, don’t sleep around because maybe Apple stops signing 18.7 in a week or so.

Just my daily update. Today the shortcuts on the Lock Screen just have no haptics to them. Worked perfectly fine earlier today, went to use my flashlight and no haptic. Never had this problem before

Here’s another update for you. I completely forgot that on 18 we can place icons wherever we want now. So I move one down, then the next one, then the next… and the first icon jumps out of the way by itself 😂Managed to get a screen recording. It does it every time I move something next to it also. Stay on 17!

I’m just gonna keep updating this thread with my iOS 18 experience. This has been happening since updating but I just got around to posting about it. Randomly throughout my messages I see these “group” messages from numbers I’ve never seen before or got messages from. This one says I got it yesterday but it was all the way at the bottom of my conversations from weeks ago when I first updated to 18 with a clean install. Garbage software. I’m honestly looking at alternative devices now. Possibly a pixel 10 pro 🤷

Updated to 26.1 and I have to say it runs better than I expected. Better than 18.7 was that's for sure! Battery seems okay too. 15 pro max
