I have an iPhone 13 Pro. I’m running 17.7. Are there issues with iOS 18 that might delay updating? Should I wait until a patch comes out or is it safe now? My biggest concern is the handset hearing up and battery drain.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17
iOS 18 is generally stable, but as with most major iOS updates, early versions can have bugs that get patched in subsequent releases. Some users have reported issues such as increased battery drain and occasional overheating with iOS 18, which is common after big updates as the system re-indexes files and apps optimize themselves for the new software.
If your primary concerns are heating and battery life, it might be worth waiting for at least one or two minor updates (such as 18.0.1 or 18.1), which typically address these early issues. However, if you’re eager to update and willing to monitor battery performance and app behavior closely, it should be safe to install now, keeping in mind you might need to tweak some settings (like background app refresh or location services) to conserve battery.
I'm trying to evacuate Clearwater from Hurricane Milton and I just updated last night hoping it could help after hearing everyone tell the people that said it made their phones crash. Well let me tell you. I have spent 10 hours trying to communicate with family and people and almost smashed my 15 pro max because its like playing Call of Duty on an Atari 2600. this is the worst thing ever. I am not kidding. Do NOT even attempt if you are possibly concerned about being unable to send a simple text. I would have so much more to say about this but I came on here praying I could find out how to uninstall because all I can find is how to uninstall the beta. Now I might as well be without a phone because anyone that has expereinced this knows how frustrating this is.
Are there any known issues with the iOS 18 Update?
