Should I update my iPhone 5 to iOS 7?
So I've heard a LOT of things about iOS- some good and some bad. Everyone I've asked either loves it or hates it. I have an iPhone 5 that I've had since April. I still have iOS 6 on it because I've been scared to make the change. Does it make the device run better? Are there any major issues that I should be concerned about? I just want honest opinions because I'm pretty torn on whether or not to update.
Also, does it cause you to lose everything on your phone?
If you have it and have a particular opinion about iOS please answer this question and let me know!
You should unless you've jailbroken.
IOS 7 has some really nice new features. It does use more CPU, but anything newer than iphone 4 shouldn't have a problem with it. I think the only thing you would have to get used to is the redesign. I suggest looking up screenshots so you know what your iphone will soon look like. And no, updates never erase your data unless something goes horribly wrong, which is extremely unlikely.
I always say if everything is working great and battery is great then don't update. If there a features you really want like airdrop or call block, then yes upgrade it.
You should update.
1. All apps will slowly, but surely start to require iOS 7. Actually, almost all of my apps are updated to iOS 7 now.
2. Absolutely all of Apple's apps gets an update on the icon and the interface and such.
3. New stuff like upgraded Notification Center, Control Center and way better Siri.
4. And so much more.
Yes, you should really update to iOS 7.
- Update stopped during ios update own iphone now phones broke I connected my iPhone 4 to my computer (iTunes) and started doing the update through iTunes. About five minutes into the update iTunes in my computer stops working, causing the update to of course stop working. Now my phone will not turn on. On the screen it is black with the 'charge symbol' as if it were low on battery and an iTunes symbol. I have tried turning my phone off and on, but of course it didn't respond.
- Should i update to ios 8 or stick with ios 7 on my iphone 5? Cuz from experience i know ios 7 is really slow on iphone 4. So just wondering if anyone already updated to ios 8 on their 5. Is it worth it, any issues with the speed
- Should I update to iOS 7? Or Stay with iOS 6? I have an iPhone 5, and I was wondering whether iOS 7 is a worthy upgrade from iOS 6, and if the features are really that compelling or not. Or Should I stay with iOS 6?
- Should I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 or leave it on iOS 5? I'm currently using iOS 5.1.1 because I didn't want to lose google maps (which I use a lot) to shoddy apple maps but I've seen a google maps app on the app store now so do you think I should update to iOS 6? And what are the benefits?
