alt Hacker NewsI'm still on Sequoia on both my Macs. I updated my iPad Pro to iOS 26, decided it was meh, and am not updating my phone. My iPhone is over 4 years old and figure the new iOS will run like crap on it and then I'll be forced to get a new phone.

What about the security update, especially for the phone ? There have been critical flaws patched recently.
Agree that iOS 26 is trash and it empty my iPhone 13 mini battery in less time than I need to write it.

For better or worse my 2018 iPad is stuck on ios 18 but I still get security updates.

Indeed, it does run like crap on older phones. You made the right choice. I don't feel forced to upgrade my phone but the new OS definitely drains the battery faster and feels slightly sluggish, making me regret the "upgrade."
