iOS update: Is it OK if you download it now?

Usually, iOS updates in their first version often include bugs and issues, so it is recommended to wait until the first reported bugs are fixed. However, the iOS 16 beta has been relatively stable, and battery life has also been good, especially on the iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone SE 3rd Gen, and iPhone SE 2nd Gen. Therefore, it would be ok to download the iOS 16 update as soon as it’s released.
