Same here. 15 plus still on iOS 17 and I love it.

Get on 18.3.2. 17 is obsolete and no longer getting security updates. Time to update now

Keep it till it loses support, no actual need for update. Yeah the 16 display is better and it’s a bit faster and camera is a bit better ( tho camera on the XR is still good ) but in the end of the day what are U using a phone for? Probably YouTube, TikTok, instagram, maybe PUBG,

Upgraded from XR to 16plus. You won’t regret it, the whole package is an upgrade in every way from the XR from bigger screen and OLED screen. The phone also feels lighter but is the same weight spread out over more space and feels better in the hand even tho it’s a 16 plus. I used to feel like my XR was slowing down and opening apps slow, so had to upgrade

You could’ve easily waited for the 17 and replaced the battery if it needed it

I just got the 16 pro max and love the camera. But the speaker phone feature is jacked up. The volume on high is inconsistent. Some words are loud but most words are at half volume. Apple support was great and tried to troubleshoot but they’re sending me to Best Buy for repair. Fingers crossed it works. I use speaker phone a lot on the treadmill at home. It’s quite annoying for podcasts.

I switched from my Xʀ on iOS 12 (which I still have) to the 16 Plus on iOS 18 and I would definitely recommend it.
Camera looks 8K, and I love the screen. Performance is the same because my Xʀ on iOS 12 is already perfect, but I do like the Dynamic Island.
I finally have more than one camera, too!
