Has anyone updated to the new iOS? I am currently holding off because I don't want to run into compatibility issues with the Tesla app or car interface.
The rule in my household for OS updates for our various devices, is that we dont ever do new main version updates as soon as they are available. "by Main version" I mean either something like iOS 16.X to 17. For "new" version updates, we wait until there is at least the first "update after the update", meaning we wont do iOS 17 until its at least 17.X (or 17.XX, like 17.01).
We wait at least 2 weeks after the release of any new OS version (this includes windows, mac etc) before we update, and during that time I just "keep my ears open" for reports of issues (of which there are ALWAYS some, its just whether they impact something I use or not).
Conversely, when OS versions go from .X to .Y (like 16.2 to 16.3), We do those right away, as they are generally security updates.
As OS's get more and more complicated, unless you love being the canary for everyone else, its usually less headache to wait to update major OS versions for a bit, at least a couple weeks, unless you have no choice (like purchasing a new device that only comes with the new version).
TL ; DR ... its usually a good idea to do what you are doing, which is hold off for major OS releases, for at least a couple of weeks.
I say this as someone who works in IT and has specifically supported "devices" for most of my working carrer, and I am in my late 50s.
