2 updates behind. Will I damage my iPhone if I update now?

I have an iPhone 5c. I was not able to upgrade to ios8 a few months ago because of memory issues, and I need to update to ios 8.1 now… I finally deleted a huge chunk of files and can now update.

The question I have is if I update now, will it damage my device because I'm 2 updates behind… Thanks

That should be no problems, all updates slow down phones no matter what, but saying that the 5c is one of the newer models it won't effect it what so ever. The only way it would effect it is if you went from ios6 straight to ios8.1

I have never heard of damaging your phone from an update…
I'm sure you will be fine.

No you can update anytime regardless of that. Connect to itunes when you do it and you don't need to worry about extra space.

No, but it is preferred before updating to sync to iTunes and backup the device. (in case).

  • Why is iPhone 5s behind in specs compared to other phones? I've never had an iPhone and was thinking about getting one but i compared specs to other phones like s4/One and iphone is behind all these top of the line mobile devices. Why do people keep buying these phones? What makes them so special?
  • What will happen if the black part behind my iPhone screen is scratched when the iPhone is apart? So I was going to replace my iPhone screen but we realized that we ordered the wrong thing so while my phone was apart I was putting the 6 acres back together that's on the left and right side of the screen and the black part got scratched and when I turn the phone on there's a bunch of colorfully lines and I can't use the phone. Is that scratch the reason the lines are on it like that?
  • What do I do if I'm really behind on Apple iPhone updates? So I got the 6s almost two years and only updated it once since then. When the really big update came out I forgot to update it so I'm very behind on the updates. I'm worried that my phone will crash if I update it now but I don't want to buy the iPhone 7. Has anyone updated their iPhone after a long time with no updates?
  • What are the circles behind the iPhone 5? I know one is the camera. One is the flash. But what is that circle in between them? Is it important?
