Can I skip iOS updates and update later? I’m currently working on iOS 18.7.2 and I’m happy with it and how it works for my needs. I have never updated my phone as soon as the iOS update is released and available because I am seeing the same thing every update battery is dead so much quicker, my iPhone is red hot, I have photos missing etc etc I have only upgraded my iPhone last year for Christmas I had an iPhone 7 128 gb and I loved that phone but the security and service ended so I got the iPhone 13 and the difference between the two is amazing and I don’t think I will be getting a new iPhone for the next couple of years or so at least but back to the iOS updates is it possible to miss out on the iOS 26.1 and 2 or until the update is steady and stable and then update missing the ones I don’t want? thanks

Unfortunately, you cannot schedule updates for a specific time.

Thanks for your reply, lobsterghost1. Disappointing, AND I appreciate your response nonetheless.
