How update iPhone 1r3 to 18.7.3

Anyone successful updating iPhone 13 to 18.7.3? I’m concerned 26 will make my phone not usable as It has an old battery. I don’t need 26 as my phone won’t be able to access much of the new tech 26 offers. I just want security

iPad Air, iPadOS 18

iPhones that support iOS 26 didn't receive iOS 18.7.3. Only the iPhones that ended at iOS 18 get it. At the release of a new iOS version, Apple typically gives users the option to upgrade or stay in the first few months. But around now they start to push you to the new software. It's been the same way for the previous iOS versions too.


What's the battery health of your iPhone? Also you will be able to receive everything aside from the Apple Intelligence powered features.
