I agree about security, but some updates that add features do have a tendency to destabilise them. Especially point-zero releases. I should hope 16 is pretty stable in general by now, but like I mentioned before, my partner is having random issues with Mail since updating.

Before they were still pushing iOS 15 based updates to those still on iOS 15 (they still do for iPadOS), so I’m not sure.

Honestly in the end it’s up to you if you want to stay, yes ios 16 gives the latest in security and feature updates, but honestly it’s consistently more buggy than iOS 15 was for me (Honestly I wish Apple would focus more on bug fixing than more features for once)

Hi! Android user since day 1 here, my Samsung galaxy s8+ died last week so I decided to go for my first iPhone, a 14 pro max, it’s been doing great. I’m not in the Apple ecosystem and it’s still fine, I use the Google app alternatives as I can carry on with what I had and easily sync to my windows laptop. I also use Garmin watches and they also work quite well. As others have said, you don’t have to be tied to the ecosystem

As others have already said, it is always worth updating to the latest available version. On average, everything works better/faster/more securely.

Only the worst security bug patches get “backported”; not all known bugs are fixed.
