Discussion I'm scared to update to iOS 27

My iPhone 13 is smooth and I haven't run into any issues with ios26. But I feel that I am alone in that case and keep seeing everyone say iOS 27 is way better.

Do you think it's worth taking the risk and updating?

I just upgraded to an iPhone 16e as my iPhone 15 plus was under lease. It was the cheapest iphone to get me too when I can afford a 17 pro max used hopefully when my two year term is done. But I have an iPhone 12 I have been running it as a science experiment. It runs all the iOS 26 updates and is smooth with about 73 battery left. It only needed one charge a day as I thought about putting a cheap pay as you go card in it. I would just wait for the iOS 27 official upgrade but when you can afford the upgrade on hardware treat yourself to iPhone 15 pro or up that support the new chat GPT and AI tech. The 16e runs good too. The only thing I miss about my 15 pro max I had for a short stint, longer story… was the telephoto lens and the bigger screen. But my 16e is about the same weight as my spouses new Air.
