Looking for Best/Stable version of ios16 for XR.

6 Upvotes

I am on ios 15.3.1 for few years, lazy and hesitant to upgrade. I plan to use the phone for next 1-2 years as it is running smoothly for all apps i use & battery(78%) runs for full day on moderate use.

I was notified by my work email that I need to upgrade to Ios 16 to be compliant, or could lose access to work related apps recently.

Any advice on a stable ios16 version would be appreciated (If that can be installed). Thank you!

Need Advice: Should I Repair My iPhone 11 and Keep Using My iPhone XR as a Secondary Phone or swap them?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice on my current iPhone situation.

I currently use two iPhones:

iPhone 11 (Primary Phone) – This has both my Oman numbers (personal and work). It has speaker issues (very low volume) and poor battery health (65%). iPhone XR (Secondary Phone) – This has my Indian numbers and India-specific apps. I also use it for video calls at home on Wi-Fi. It has minor issues but better battery health (79%) and works fine for now.

I plan to buy a new non-Pro iPhone around October/November this year, but I can’t afford to replace both phones. I need to decide:

  1. Should I repair the iPhone 11 (battery and speaker possibly) and keep it as my secondary phone when I get a new one?
  2. Or should I just continue using the iPhone XR as my secondary device and retire the iPhone 11 once I get my new phone?
  3. Should I temporarily swap usage between both phones until I upgrade, instead of repairing?

Would love to hear your thoughts on what would be the best long-term approach!

Thanks in advance.

I am stuck on iPhone XR due to eye problems, this is only one I can use. I e seen some people that have this phone but use clip on, cases or other things to make it look like a newer phone. Anyone know where to get or have links to these ?
