Time to update to iOS7?

iPhone 4S or 5?

Definitely go for it.

But:

  • Do a full, encrypted backup by wired connection to your computer.
  • Do the upgrade through iTunes on your computer
  • Be ready to not be able to use the phone for +-30 minutes
  • Expect to have to spend a couple hours getting used to how things look and how some things are different or relocated.


My advice... start it going before dinner. Get it to the point where the software is downloaded, unpacked and you can see that it is starting to grind away on the install. After dinner, keep it plugged in to power, and mess around with it during evening.

If you have an iPhone 4 you should probably still update; your phone may be a little slower, but most people are still happy with the changes.

If you have a 5 and a non-Apple charger, the charger will not work after the update. take it to the Apple Store, give them the charger and $10 and get an official, won't fry you, Apple brand charger!
