I am on the ios 17.7.


Off subject: My phone is supposed to let me know when to update. A rep took me in a few days ago and we found update was available, which brought me to the 17.7. No red dot on settings ever indicated there was an update waiting.


And, now that you mention it, I see there is an option to upgrade to ios 18. Is there any reason that you think I might not want to upgrade? I wish it was necessary instead of giving me a choice.

You don't have to update to iOS 18, but eventually, you'll not get security updates, which are intended to keep you and your data safe. An iPhone 15 Plus is more than capable of running iOS 18. It won't however, get the new Apple Intelligence features will will start rolling out in about a week as your phone doesn't have 8GB of Ram, which is required for Apple Intelligence. You'd need a 15 Pro model, which does 8GB of Ram.

Thank you so much for this information. So, I will have to upgrade eventually to stay secure. Since I'm still wending my way around 15+ from 8+, I best bide my time before upgrading. My husband explained to me the difference between phone storage and rams, cuz I was going like wait I have 128 gbs of storage.


Also, my desktop copilot says its best to back up before doing the upgrade. I don't buy icloud space, so I'm not able to get a full back up. This never really mattered to me cuz I move pix to computer and all my google stuff syncs. Not sure what i'll do when the time comes. Spend the money, probably, cuz it Sounds like the upgrade is like starting over.
