Interestingly, I got something new this time: And I probably should have said that at the very beginning, right? 🙂 I would say 30min total is a reasonable estimate for the update process. Rule of thumb: Don’t do an iOS update five minutes before you need to leave or get that really important phone call. Once it’s all downloaded, you’ll see this for a while too:ÄŞnd we still have quite a ways to go. I definitely see remaining time decrease far faster than wall time, which is good news. Time estimates are based on a quick analysis of download speed, so it can be off by a significant margin. Now I want to test “Hey Siri, play Free Solo on my TV” too!Äone reading? Tap on “ < Back” on the top left and now tap on “ Download and Install“. You can always learn more by tapping on “Learn More”, which I do because I’m always curious what changes are going to be applied.
As you can see, the big addition is support for the new Apple News+ service, though there are some other useful things – including four new animoji. Curious what version you’re running? You can find that out by going to the About section (along with how big your storage space is and how much is in use currently, among other useful snippets of data).Ī ha! There is indeed an update available, iOS 12.2. No big surprise here: Tap on Software Update and the phone will check with Apple to see if there’s an update to your iOS system. Even with a fast Internet connection.Īnyway, okay, let’s do this! Go into Settings on your iPhone, then go to General. Then make sure you have a good wifi connection because you can’t update it over the cellular network - and even if you could that’s not a great idea due to potential reliability issues.įinally, if it’s a big update, a lot of people swarm to the update servers within the first 12-24 hours so it might be really slow. The trick with updates is to prep your phone (or iPad, of course) beforehand: Make sure you have free space, make sure it’s at least 50% charged and (ideally) have it on a Qi wireless charger or otherwise plugged in. And that shark animoji is pretty sweet… 🙂 I’m fine with other people finding those glitches rather than having it adversely impact my productivity! But at the same time, there are updates from Apple this time that are worth pushing and trying to install as soon as possible, so I get where you’re coming from too.
Generally speaking I like to give updates a few days “in the wild” before I update my devices just in case there are any last minute issues or problems.
