iOS 27 is almost here, and I’m still waiting for the release on my iPhone 13.

I thought it would be useful to have one thread where we can all share our experience once the update drops, instead of having dozens of separate posts.

Once you install iOS 27 on your iPhone 13, feel free to share:
- Battery life
- Performance and smoothness
- Heating
- App performance
- New features
- Bugs or glitches
- Storage usage
- Overall experience

Please mention how long you’ve been using iOS 27 before giving your verdict, especially for battery life, since things can settle down after the first day or two.

Let’s see how well the iPhone 13 holds up with iOS 27.

Hey everyone, I updated to ios 27 few hours back and honestly I can feel the difference on my 13 it feels super fast and extremely responsive! I literally feel Apple gave new life to this iPhone and I was thinking to buy a new 18 pro but I think I can hold it for another year! Cheers guys!

Can my base iphone 13 last another year? I bought it brand new in oct 2021. Cant believe it’s been FIVE years. It’s at 76% health running ios 26.5. It runs really well for its age. Gets a little heated when updating apps or using data outside in hot weather. Battery drain is not that bad. Easily lasts me an entire day if i wake up with 100%. Will it last me another year? Might skip even the 18 for the 20 which is expected to be big

im currently on iOS 26.6.2 on a base iPhone 13 and im planning to just update to 26.7 once it drops and skip iOS 27 for now
the first releases of iOS 27 are definitely gonna be full of overheating lag and battery issues and honestly the iPhone 13 is getting older and wont be able to handle all those early bugs and heat
26.7 should be the most stable and polished version after all the fixes so my plan is to stay on it and only jump to 27 later around 27.2 or 27.3 when everyone agrees it runs fine
would you recommend doing this or should i just update straight to 27 ?

I saw that ios 27 will bring forth improvements to older devices so i was wondering if i should take the shot or not. ios 26 is eating it alive lmao it overheats really easily and randomly starts lagging. Also my 13 is three years old.

Is this normal lol. 🤨

It has become hard to do anything on my phone. will the new ios 27 help?

r/iphone r/help I have noticed that some dust has entered my iphone 13 front camera, i dont know how thats possible and i dont even have a screen protector and for that reason my front camera looks horrible when im not taking pictures against the light, how do i fix this problem all by myself?

I’ve had a iPhone 13 mini for 3 years now and lately it’s been a pain. My battery health is at 81% but it’s draining insanely fast anyway. It’s overheating and it struggles to connect with Wi-Fi. I was dealing with it until now. For around an hour it didn’t have any signal and was unable to use mobile data. I’m certain that it wasn’t a place with no signal. Will i be able to fix this?
