That has not been the experience of millions (perhaps over 100 million) owners of iPhone 13’s who have had none of your issues. So perhaps you should troubleshoot what you are doing that is causing your issues.

I updated my iPhone 13 to iOS 18 and it’s operating perfectly well, no issues at all.

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

This issue has been there for years together now. Multiple users, especially 12 to 14 series had reported green screen issue. I can confirm that because my 13 pro max phone got the green screen issue about 18 months back, luckily for me it was under the one year warranty period and so got the display replaced for free.

Further, when was in the service center I could see a lot of customers queuing up for same issue and many of them were denied free screen replacement because of out of warranty and were asked to pay up.

So to summarize, if you are luckily then your device wouldn’t get the issue. The best thing to do is not to update right now and only update to 17.7

Anyways, the device is not going to get the much hyped AI features which is available even in a basic android phone nowadays ( Apple says neural engine, processor etc.,).

Hard earned money, think about this as well - Compare with Google tensor processor which supports Gemini AI or a Snapdragon processor on Samsung devices in the same or little less price range.

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'd updated my iPhone 13 Pro Max to iOS 17.6 recently. Soon after, there was a message prompting to service my battery as its health % showed 73%. A day after replacing the battery at an authorised Apple Service Centre, my phone started flashing n blacking out. Day after, the screen totally turned black n I could use it. Revisiting the service centre I was told this is an issue with the updated iOS which affects the display screen but I was informed that my iPhone is not covered by the warranty as it's totally black n not partially green or green which it would be covered n replaced free of charge. I was referred to call the Apple Hotline but the conclusion was still I'm Not Covered 🤬👎👎👎

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.

I have updated my iphone 13 pro to ios 18 and my iphone is performing very fine.ios 18 is loaded with many useful features and i am satisfied with upgradation

Can I updated my iPhone 13 to ios 18

Does it will be safe

Yes.

Yes.

Me too but found post advising 13-15 to wait

In the meantime I upgraded to a 15 pro max and I updated to iOS 18.0.1 and it runs perfectly smooth. Maybe battery is only a bit lower but it feels great.

iOs 18, 18.0.1 are causing lot of problems

Apple iOS 18 agreeably is THE worst!! I am appalled ! Searching for photos is a joke. Their search robot is a dud. The rearranged photos is shocking !!
