Is it Safe to Update iPhone 13 Pro Max to iOS 18?

Yes mandatory to update to 17.7 because it security patch. But not recommended to update to IOS 18 yet

Is it safe now to upgrade? I use an iPhone 13 Pro Max

UN level to activate

Hi! I have just updated my 13 PRO Max to iOS 18. I have issues with Siri and when i would like to make a call. Siri tells me that i need to unlock my phone to make a call. Apple support did not manage to resolve my problem. Anyone else who have the same problem?

I just got my phone fixed because of white dead screen and I didn’t update or drop. This problem can cause by itself (my experienced)

No, the update didn't cause that. Just because things happened around the same time doesn't mean one caused the other.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc.

Green screen problem on iphone 13 pro max is not because of software but hardware problem. If your unit is still under waranty i would like to suggest you to replace the screen of your unit at the nearest apple service center

Hello,

I recommend you to update to 17.7 because of the security updates and because it is a very good and stable version of iOS.

The battery is great and so are the performances of the 17.7 so far.

If your iPhone supports iOS 17, there is no reason why you shouldn’t move on to a good and updated version.

Keep in mind that the phone is made to be updated constantly and remaining to an older version can possibly be a security issue on the long run. Also, there are always multiple new features that are worth updating for.

Best of luck and be ensured that iOS is really worth updating to!

I have the iPhone 13 Pro Max and updated to iOS 18 5 days ago. Since then, I can only get calls via WiFi calling. My signal keeps dropping to E or SOS. I was advised there is no fix by T-Mobile and Apple Care. Im waiting on my carrier to let me know if they are willing to replace my phone. I do not recommend updating.

If any one once wants a good advice my advice on this I would highly suggest anyone not running iOS 17.7 that can get 17.7 to update there iPhone to that version of iOS and wait to at least iOS 18.1 or iOS 18.2 comes out first

That’s just Siri being Siri. Everyone is required to unlock their IPhone for Siri to help with everything.

That's not true. I can do lots of things with Siri without unlocking my phone. I just tested making a phone call while my phone was locked and it worked. Asking about the weather worked. I did a currency conversion. I set up a reminder. No problems with any of those.

No , my friend please don't try to switch yourself on ios 18 in 13, 14 or even 12 series otherwise you'll affect with lots of trouble. I'm also having 13 pro max since it was launched but I'll also keeps 17 not 18 because it's new version and still not properly functional in older versions

IOS 18 not yet safe for older series of iPhones due to many technical reasons and yes of course 13 have drastic displays issue since ios 16.5 update but safe zone is upgraded to ios 17 without delayed

I have a 13 pro max and I recently updated to 18.1 and my screen showed a white blank screen for almost 2 days I tried to force shut down but it didn’t work then after a week it came back to life after a force shut down. Then I updated to 18.1.1 so let’s see

I am surprised you are still on 16.6.1, you can very much upgrade to 17.7 or to 18 if your phone supports.
