Is it ok to skip an update and download a newer software?

currently running 17.5.1 (I think that’s correct) saw there’s an update available to 17.8.1 (no idea if that’s correct just a guess) as well as a newer 18.1.1. My question is do I need to start with the 17.8.1 or can I skip it and just download the newer 18.1.1?

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17

You can download the iOS 18.1.1 version if you wish.

While technically possible to download the latest update on older iOS versions, I highly recommend keeping your iPhone up-to-date. This ensures optimal performance, the latest features, and most importantly, robust security protection for your device and data.
