Plug your iPhone into a power supply-the new version of iOS won’t install if your battery is low.If you don’t have enough space, iOS will also offer to temporarily remove some files for you. If you don’t have a spare 20GB or so on your phone then delete some apps to make room – you can reinstall them afterwards as you already own them so they are associated with your account. You will need a fair amount of space available for the update. This is in case you have to go back later, but if this is beyond you, don’t worry about this step. If you want to be extra cautious you could save a copy of the previous version of iOS-we explain how below.In the past people have lost data like old SMS messages and photos during an update, so we can’t emphasize enough how important this step is! You can do this using iCloud, or via the Finder on a Mac or iTunes on a PC. How to get your iPhone ready for an iOS updateīefore you update iOS, we recommend that you do the following: Or you write down a phone number, and you can tap to call it.See our list of every version of iOS where you can see the latest versions and how long Apple supports iOS for. You select that section, copy, then paste into an email, where it shows up as if you typed them. Or, you want to email a few lines of those handwritten notes. You can now swipe to the Maps app and write “Zanzibar” into the search field, rather than pecking at the screen’s keyboard. The use cases for all that processing: You’re handwriting notes on your iPad ($329 and up) with the Pencil during a meeting, and you want to see a map of Zanzibar. “Which means that the computational power of the device has to be such that it can do that level of processing locally.” “It’s gotta be happening in real time, right now, on the device that you’re holding,” Federighi says. The massive amount of statistical calculations needed to do this are happening on the iPad itself, rather than at a data center. That dynamic understanding of how people write means Apple’s software can reliably know what you’re writing as you’re writing it, but combined with data on a language’s syntax, the iPad can also predict what stroke or character or word you’ll write next.
