how to update from IOS 16.1.1 to IOS 18 in December 2025? Iphone suggests only IOS 26.
There is no button with IOS 18. Phone battery isn’t new, so I don’t want to update to 26. Official website has a “picture” where you can see that that button exist , but not in my phone
iPhone 14, iOS 16
If your phone is capable of running iOS 26, you can no longer install iOS 18.
Apple just changed that when iOS 26.2 came out a couple days ago.
For iOS updates, storage is what matters—not Battery Health. Plug the iPhone into a power source, make sure there’s enough free storage, and you’re all set. Battery Health can sit this one out.
I dont speak Russian, I have no idea what that says.
Sorry. I sent it just to show what Apple website has. There’s two buttons.
I read your first answer. So now I think I do need to update, cuz I can’t install apps
If your iPhone is still running iOS 16, and you are going to do a three-version jump to iOS 26, you may need to do so with the help of a Mac or a Windows PC.
