What is the best iOS update for the iPhone 14 Pro Max?

17.7 --- 18.7.8 --- 26.6 🤔

PS: I don't need the liquid glass, with the new AI or the new Siri?

Also I must admit, I am happy with the Photos App in 17.7.

You can’t choose, either stay with what the phone is on now or update to the latest one. Those are your only options.

Considering that the last update had about 70+ security fixes I'd recommend the latest version of the OS that is 26.6

Probably some version of iOS 16. Since in this case that’s not possible, 17.7 then. Never update.

iOS 16.7.2 but since you are already on iOS 17.7 and there are at least two changes in iOS 18.x that you may not like, stay with iOS 17.7

• Control Center introduced in iOS 11 was dropped in favor of a new design in iOS 18
• Photos in iOS 18 has a new interface compared to Photos in iOS 17 and earlier

I'm on iOS27 Developer Beta 4 and have been very happy with this iOS. It is improved over iOS26 and I have this across several of my iPhones including my primary iPhone. I haven't had any issues running this iOS.

You gotta use IOS 26 for a while to make sure that the super annoying white shimmering border around all the app icons doesn’t make you hate looking at your phone.
It doesn’t sound like much - but man it sure is annoying.
