Daily use and to experience the new system is two different things. Here we are based on daily use, and we will talk about the suggestions for upgrading the new iOS system.
iPhone14 series doesn’t have to choose
iPhone14 can only be used with iOS16. Moreover, iOS16.0.3 focuses on bug fixes for iPhone14, and iPhone14 can be upgraded directly.
iOS16.0.3 is very good in terms of battery life and heat generation. In terms of functionality, iOS 16.1 is more complete, and has gone through 5 beta versions. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be the rc version next week.
The battery of iPhone 14 is still very healthy, and upgrading iOS 16.1 will not have any battery life problems at all. It is just that the heat control will be a little hot, but there is no big problem.
can use iOS15 models. At present, don't upgrade iOS16
iOS16.0.3's official version of the functional update content is not perfect enough, and there are some minor problems, such as the battery percentage and wallpaper settings are not perfect.
iOS16.1 functional update is basically complete, but it still needs to be optimized in terms of battery life and heating. Even after 5 beta versions, it still failed to achieve iOS15.7's performance in terms of battery life and heating.
iOS15.6, iOS15.6.1, and iOS15.7 are currently the most stable systems, with better battery life and heating performance.
If you want to retire, you can keep any of these three versions. The most recommended one is iOS 15.7. If it is currently this version, you should consider it carefully when upgrading to iOS 16.
