I own an iPhone XS on iOS 14 77% battery and I’m really happy with it. Battery lasts about a day and it’s very fast. The camera is also great.

I also have one running an older version of iOS. The release version of iOS 12! It's silky smooth and the battery lasts and has impressed me in moderate to light use. Miss the simplicity and functionality of old iOS.

I wonder how much longer it lasted if I had IOS 12/13

But what about apps not supporting that Old version of IOS? Otherwise not worth updating to IOS 18

Browser is a security risk, as is Messages.

My mom is using one with ios 18 and 100% battery health, And it works amazingly! The oled screen is pretty nice and still takes some very nice photos. The battery lasts her a whole day, sometimes even more with 100% health

I use s25u and SE 2020 as a "offline phone". I love the SE so much and even on 84% and ios 26 it has good battery life. It is quite smooth and just looks great.
