My phone can't go beyond 15, so easy decision 🙂 But if it could, I wouldn't update till well into 2023. The quality of Apple's software has declined quite a bit in the last few years, so staying behind the leading edge is good for the nerves.

1.
Beacuse there are too many threads with iOS 16 problems 😂
I remember when I got my 13 pro, the iOS 15 threads were miles away more positive.
2.
13 pro is my first iPhone after many years on Android. I don't need the battery percentage or the widgets. I mean I'm tired of them. I want the clean look.
Whats more beautiful then this? (See image)
3.
Notifications hide at the bottom, not in the middle.
Thats it.
Long live 15.7.1. Long live the king 👑 😂

I‘ve got an iPad Air 5 which came with iPadOS 15.6. I’m staying there because iOS updates have historically obliterated performance and battery life, and it happened to me after Apple forced my previously flawless 9.7-inch iPad Pro on iOS 9 to iOS 12 and destroyed battery life. I didn’t even update it myself, infuriating. Therefore, I’m staying.

Battery life improved with iOS 16 for most models, that’s why I didn’t stay on iOS 15!

Not out of choice. iOS15 is the last supported OS (deemed by Apple) for me.

Can't trust Apple to not throttle an old iPhone on a newer OS, and Apple doesn't trust us enough to let us roll back to an older OS that doesn't get bogged down.

I’m using a dark mode switching wallpaper from iOS 13 and I’m afraid to lose it if I upgrade

Battery is awesome on iOS 15.7.1 and I’m not using an official battery even

I’m not, I’m still on ios14, because of CSAM spyware being bundled into iOS15. It’s not a risk I can take. Every semester some lonely freshmen girls send me their nudes. I turn the messages over to admin, bc we have a protocol and the admin will deal with them about it. …but I don’t also need to go to prison over things I can’t control just because Apple thinks they’re saving the world by throwing their users privacy out the window. Some of our students are not yet 18. It’s just not a risk I can take, so iOS15 and onward is a no-go.

That’s good point but at this time is impossible to downgrade so…
