Update from iOS 16 to iOS 18

[francescog]

Hello everyone! I’ve got an iPhone 13 with health battery at 76%. My last iOS update is iOS 16.6.1. Now, I would update to iOS 18.7.2. Should I update or it will aggravate my phone? Could iOS 16 be considered current in 2025?

There are plenty of us with an iPhone 13 running iOS 18.7.2 without issues. Whether it would be trouble-free for you, no one can say.

I don't think you can upgrade to anything except 26.1 at this point.

You can update to 18.7.2 using standard mechanisms or update to 18.7.3 using iOS 18 beta profile.
This is just for information, cause I - personally - still rocking iOS 17.7.2 in case of self defense.
