I honestly do not no what to expect.
From what I've read there does not seem to be any advantage. I am weary of the constant asking me to update.
I'm certain that if there were problems they would have appeared by now. It's been a couple of weeks.
I too have a 5s and I don't update cause I've had enough with battery drain. When my 5s was on 9.xx, battery life was almost 10 hours. Now if I can have 4 hours, I count myself lucky. Same usage. Concerning the battery life, this has become a matter of trust in Apple. And my usage is in the lightest you can imagine.
Are those who are running iOS 9 on a 5s that is of the same age getting those same 10 hours of battery life?
Are you sure its not the a battery issue on your 5S degrading after 3-4 years of use?
Sure I am. My 5s is 14 months old. I had it in March 2016 for 0$ from my provider. My usage is: some email, some Safari, some Photos. some Flipp. No games, not used as a camera, not used as a GPS. Mostly used as a security tool when in my car. Same happens with my iPad Air 2: came with 9.2 and could go up to 12 hours, then 9,3 with 10 hours and now 10 with 6-8 hours. I have the screenshots to prove it.
So it's still under AppleCare warranty.
You can have them double check the battery health.
Also go to settings/battery to see what used up most of your battery or how much of it.
That section should answer your questions.
If you are already on 10.X it doesn't matter anymore...yeah you should update.
I too literally have the same phone I use for work. Now this is just my opinion but it runs just as smoothly to me as 10.3.1. If you are asking for opinions then I say go for it and upgrade.
I agree with you about the battery life. I'm not without my share of compromise with my work phone, that's for sure. My contract is up soon thankfully and I'm leaning towards something with a larger battery altogether.
I was a long time hold out, had all of our family devices (2 iphone 5, 2 6s plus, ipad air2) on 9.3.5 up until I went to 10.3.2
For what it's worth, all our devices (even the iphone 5) had zero issues.
In every case were gained several GB of space (over 6 GB gained on my 6s plus....amazing...)
None were slowed down, and battery life is as good or better (def better on my 6s plus...)
Not scientific at all, but through the usual daily use this is what I saw. Nothing negative to report at all for anything. All updates were done OTA.
Generally I've always waited for the .2 or .3 revisions of any ios. Perhaps overly cautious, but it's worked for me.
Anyway, thats my take.
