How to Get Apple's New iPhone Software Update

How to Get Apple's New iPhone Software Update

The new iPhone 7, which along with the larger 7 Plus will go on sale in the United Kingdom on Friday, will come with the new software built in.

Apple Inc. ran into trouble with the release of iOS 10 just hours after making the new version of its mobile operating system available for download, as users took to to report troubles installing the software. The problem is some users - including me - have had issues downloading the update. The release marks many improvements in design and performance, and is also considered to be really secure.

If this doesn't work for you, then the only other option is to click Restore which erases all settings and content.

There are two ways to download: wirelessly or through iTunes. Then open the Watch app on your iPhone and tap on My Watch General Software Update. After your device searches and discovers the update, follow the prompts and you should be good to go. You battery must be at least 60 percent charged or connected to a charger at the time of update. If you use emoji when talking to friends and family (of course you do), you'll want to give this update serious consideration. Double check that you're running the latest version of iTunes before doing this. This includes both iPad Pro models, the iPhone 6 and 6s and the iPad mini 4, but which older devices are supported? You might need to allow the device to access your computer. The update will be released to all compatible devices.

iMessages is going to look a lot different.

. Developers will also be able to integrate their apps into iMessage for the first time.

No more using Apple's personal digital assistant to ask questions like "what's zero divided by zero?" You can also play YouTube links from within the iMessage app. Apple News app has also been redesigned, and now has more than 2,000 publications.

So says tech reviewer Ed Baig.

One rule of thumb: backup your device before updating.

However some users will be flummoxed when they discover one of the most recognisable and common actions on your Apple device - swipe to unlock - has been dropped. When you have completed the instructions in the email, you will be able to download the final release candidate from the software update.
