Hi everyone, Aaron here for zollotech & iOS 11 comes out tomorrow, or it may already be out by the time
You're watching this video. Either way
I wanted to help you prepare and make sure your phone is ready to upgrade to the newest version.
So the first thing you need to know are the different models that are supported. So on the iPhone side, that means iPhone 5s
And newer. So iPhone 5s
SE and then newer than that.
So the 5c and the 5 are not supported, and anything older than that is also not supported. On the iPad side,
iPad Mini 2, 3 & 4 are supported, the fifth generation iPad and newer
basically are supported, so if you have an iPad 1, 2 or third generation or
fourth-generation
iPad, it may not be supported, so you'll have to actually have something newer than that to have
iPad support. Also, on the iPod side you have the iPod Touch 6th generation only.
That's the only one supported for iOS 11. The first thing
You'll need to do is make sure that you actually have a backup of your different devices.
So if you have an iPod or an iPhone that you're going to update, you need to make sure you have a backup either on
iTunes (so you just plug it into iTunes and hit backup) or if you're using
iCloud, just make sure you have a recent backup, so you go to settings, then you can go here at the top
Go down to iCloud
scroll all the way down until you get to iCloud backup and
This will tell you the last time it backed up right here. It says 2:17 p.m.
On 7/5 I haven't turned this iPhone on in a little while so I'll need to back that up
And if you haven't, just make sure you've got enough battery and you're on Wi-Fi, and hit backup now. Once it's backed up
You're good to go, and then you'll be safe to actually upgrade.
I highly recommend using a backup to have in place just in case something fails
It doesn't often fail,
But sometimes it will. The next thing you need to be aware of is how much space you're using on your iPhone. So in this
Case, you'll need one to one and a half gigabytes usually in order to install the update, so you need that
Available. So you can check that under settings,
Go down to general, go to storage and iCloud usage, and here it tells you how much storage you have available.
So in my case I've got plenty, because I have 10 gigabytes used and only 49 gigabytes available (or 49 available).
Now, if I don't have enough, I can manage storage. And under managed storage, it takes a moment and tells me what's using the most amount
Of data. So if there's something here
I don't need - I've already completed Monument Valley 2 - we can go in here and just delete it right from here.
Also, one of the number one things that uses your data is usually messages, and under messages you have messages saved.
Many times under the messages settings you can change everything so that it deletes anything older than say a month
So if we go back to settings, go down, to messages down in messages
You can see keep messages forever. If you have forever on and you don't have a lot of storage you may want to change that
To thirty days or a year. Just keep in mind anything older than that will be deleted
So you need to keep that in mind, and if you're ok with that change it
And you'll see it says it will delete anything older than thirty days. That will store or that will usually
Free up a lot of storage for most people once you've got your backup completed
You know that you have enough
Storage available to to actually do the update, the next thing you need to do is make sure that your battery is at least at
50% or that you have a charger nearby, because if it's not at 50% or more
You're not going to be able to install it until it's at
50% or more or it's plugged in, so just keep that in mind and
Then once you're ready to actually install it, you'll find that update by going to settings,
Going to general and then going to software update. At this time 10.3.
3 is the latest. When eleven is out or whatever the next version is, just go ahead and hit install and it will install
now once
It's installing your phone will be
Unavailable for the time that it takes to install so again make sure you're not in a situation where you may need your phone
Right away, and if you are wait until later to install it
It's not a big deal, but just make sure that you are aware of that once. IOS. 11 is installed on your device
you'll have all the benefits of the new features and security updates things like that and
Also, if you'd like to know what's new in iOS 11
