Should I update to iOS 26?

I am still thinking whether should I upgrade to iOS 26 or fix to iOS 18.7. Anyone who have updated your iPhone to iOS 26, do share you experience to me?


I am using iPhone 16 Pro Max.

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18

I quite like iOS 26. Not everyone agrees with me, but to me, I LOVE the Liquid Glass look and I've not experienced any issues with iOS 26 at all. You can stick with iOS 18.7 for a while. But in the not too distant future, Apple will no longer support iOS 18.7 and if you want the newer features and security updates, you will have to update to iOS 26 at some point. Just keep in mind that with ALL major iOS updates, some things will change and you'll need to learn how everything works in iOS 26.
