Is iOS 17 good to update on iPhone 13? Any problems identified like slowness, battery performance, etc.?

This time I would like to wait 7-10 days to update iOS 17 on my iPhone 13. Would like to check those who has already updated and observed issues like slowness, battery performance, any other issues.


Is it good to wait? I have seen that 17.0.1 is released. Do you think better to wait for another 3-4 days?

iPhone 13, iOS 16

If you have done one or more of the following Don'ts...


  1. Don't hand over an iPhone to kids or to a stranger without Enabling Guided Access
  2. Don't share Apple IDs
  3. Don't Jailbreak
  4. Don't share sensitive information pertaining to your device
  5. Don't give in to Phishing
  6. Don't plug in your device in Airports and Public places through third-party cables and trust the device. Beware of Juice Jacking. (Especially in India)
  7. Don't leave your iPhone unlocked and unattended in public places like offices, schools, malls, etc.

Updating iOS on your iPhone should typically not alter the fundamental functionality of the device. It's possible that there were underlying issues before this update, which you might not have been aware of previously or might not have noticed.


In general, iOS updates are designed to enhance the user experience, improve security, and fix bugs, rather than introducing major disruptions to core features. The reported issue of the screen flickering and displaying a white screen after an update is likely caused by factors that are not explicitly mentioned in your post.


iOS updates primarily focus on improving system performance, introducing new features, fixing bugs, and enhancing security. They are designed to preserve your personal data, settings, and information intact.


During an iOS update, your device's operating system is upgraded, but your personal data, such as contacts, photos, messages, and other information, should remain unchanged. However, it's always a good practice to perform a backup of your device before any major update to ensure that your data is safely stored.


It's important to note that while an iOS update itself should not alter personal details, it's possible that certain features or settings may be adjusted or improved with the update. In such cases, you may need to review and adjust specific settings to match your preferences after the update.


Always make sure to read and understand the update details provided by Apple before proceeding with an iOS update, and follow best practices such as backing up your device to minimize any potential risks or complications.

I would never recommend waiting and listening to all the rumours.

I don't want to listen rumours but, would like to understand to update to latest version as apple immediately released 17.0.1.


I am a iPhone fan since iPhone 3GS.


But, last time when I installed it the battery performance was reduced 50% and regretted. I had to wait for the next version and updated immediately. Currently my battery is @ 91%. ALmost get for 2 days (40-48 hours).


Is it safe to install and update 17.0.1? I just wanted to wait only for a week or 10 days :), if any such performance issues.
