Will my iphone XR slow down if I keep updating the software?

Should I keep upgrading the iOS on my iPhone XR or should I keep it in current update as it runs fast? I'm scared that downloading new iOS updates will slow down my phone.

iPhone XR, iOS 15

Agree, it’s good to update.


I believe your concern might stem from the issues related to “throttling”; you can read about the ongoing case here:

but I don’t think you should worry for your current phone.
