13. Its easy enough not to update.

Personally, I just delay updating, especially for major updates. I let a couple weeks pass until I hear they’ve fixed the initial bugs, then I’ll update straight to the patch.

That might not have helped me in this case. But I have a battery case, so the battery inside my iPhone is rarely used. Cheaper and easier to buy a new case than to replace the internal battery.
