hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech & iOS 13 is about a week or so away so I
wanted to help you get your phone ready or your iPad or iPod touch ready for
that update just to make sure you're ready to go the day it launches in about
a week or so so the first thing is you need to know compatibility and
unfortunately if you have an iPhone 5s 6 or 6 plus they are no longer compatible
with the newest version of iOS when iOS 13 comes out it will not be able to get
that upgrade so you'll be stuck on iOS 12 point 4 point 1 or any later security
releases but based on iOS 12 if you have an iPhone 6s 6s plus se those are all
compatible all of those phones and newer so you'll be good to go there now if you
have an iPod you'll need an iPod Touch 7th generation that is the only
supported iPod touch for iOS 13 also when it comes to iPad they changed the
name to iPad OS but it's the same thing as far as compatibility you need an iPad
air 2 or newer or an iPad Mini 4 and newer any of the new air devices or
fifth generation iPads are all supported so you'll be good to go there and all
iPad pro devices now let's take a look at some of the things you can do on your
phone to make sure you're ready to go now once you've determined that your
phone is compatible with iOS 13 you'll need to make sure that you have enough
storage in order to update to it now generally you'll need about 2 to 5
gigabytes of free storage in order to update it won't use all of that after
it's updated but it will need that to complete the update in general so to
make sure you have enough storage you want to go to settings then you go down
to general and then under general go to iPhone storage and under iPhone storage
it will show your actual usage here at the top and you can see I'm using 29.6
gigabytes of 64 gigabytes now if I was closer to that 64 gigabytes or I had a
bunch of things I wasn't using or I had a ton of saved messages it would help me
delete that and I can show you what that looks like on my iPhone XS Max so
you'll see here we can auto delete old conversations now if you have
conversations with people that you like to keep you don't want to turn this on
and then also review large attack so it's giving me suggestions to save
storage so just keep that in mind it will also do that
if you have apps you're not using you can enable it to offload some of those
apps so that it will actually allow you to install it so it's a pretty simple
process but just make sure you have enough storage now now that you have
enough storage make sure that you have your phone backed up and the reason I
say this is chances are it will be fine once you update usually there's not
issues with updating but if there is you want to make sure you have a backup and
that means either through iTunes plugging in through the Lightning port
and then actually using your computer to sync either on Windows or Mac or you
want to use iCloud and the other reason is if you update to iOS 13 and you
really don't like it you'll only have a couple weeks usually to downgrade but if
you downgrade you'll need that backup in order to make sure you have all of your
your data so in order to make sure you're backed up other than using iTunes
you'll go to your name here at the top then you'll go to iCloud and then under
iCloud again you'll see all of your storage but go down to the bottom and
you want to make sure that iCloud backup is on and if iCloud backup is on you're
good to go and then all you want to do is hit backup now and it will take time
depending on how long you actually or how much data you actually have and what
your internet connection is but if you don't have enough storage you'll need to
purchase more storage so if you're not using a lot of storage you're good to go
you'll see I'm actually paying for two terabytes with iCloud so I have plenty
of storage but if you don't have this you can either pay for more you can do
that on a month-to-month basis and downgrade so you could do it just for
the month of updating and then go back so if you go to manage storage and then
you go to change storage plan it takes just a moment to load under change
storage plan you'll see I have two terabytes now there are downgrade
options so you could upgrade for a little bit and then downgrade after just
to make sure you're good to go now if you have a backup already you
should be fine but just make sure you have that backup now the next thing is
to make sure you have enough battery life and the reason I say this is
because maybe you are at work maybe you're somewhere else and you want to
update to iOS 13 you'll need at least 50 percent if you don't have your charger
with you so make sure that you have at least fifty percent battery life or you
have your charger with you either one will work if you're over fifty percent
fine if you're not then you'll need your charger now the next thing is to get the
update you can check for it manually it releases to everyone at the exact same
time around the world so if you go to settings then you go to general then you
go to software update it will show up if you have it available now if you have
automatic updates on this may or may not happen at the time it releases it can
take a few days so just go ahead and check yourself if you want it right away
and you'll have that available and then finally make sure you have enough time
to install this now depending on your internet connection can can determine
how long it takes to actually download the update once the updates downloaded
it can take anywhere from ten to thirty minutes to install so just make sure you
have that time available it will work fine you'll be able to use your phone
until it actually goes to install and it will prompt you to install so when
you're checking for your update it will prompt you to install once it's ready to
go once you hit that point probably ten minutes or so is what I would say is a
safe bet for it to install it's going to depend heavily on the device you're
using so hopefully those steps helped you get ready to install iOS 13 on your
device also I'll link this wallpaper in the description as I always do and if
