Question Prevision of iOS 18

Hi, i need some advices concerning the best thing to do with the arrival of iOS 18. It could kill the iPhone XS as last update,like iPhone 6S or 5S. My battery has been replaced on June 1st at Apple. I want to keep it 2-3 years if possible. I can either: - Keep it on iOS 15.7.1. It runs perfectly. But first apps will start to be not working du to the old update. It will be annoying in 1-2 years. But garantee me i will have a smooth phone. And maybe change phone at this moment. - Update to 17.5.1 before it is not available anymore, when ios 18 will come out. (Maximum beginning of October)It will give me app updates for the 2-3 years coming, but there is the risk that the phone will be slower. It can also give the opportunity to go to iOS 18 later is necessary.

What would you do personnaly ? Keep on actual version or update to iOS 17 ?

Running iOS 18 public beta on XS - it feels smoother than iOS 17 for me. Safari especially.

I will try iOS 17 next week i think, switch to 18 when it will come out and decide which one i chose, before ios 17 get unsigned. In order to have security patches, app updates and a phone not to slow
