Keep Your iPhone Updated

iPhone updates are important for phone maintenance. They help improve speed, they make battery use more efficient, and they can add useful new features. Keeping your iPhone regularly updated will keep improving how it uses power. Always download an update when you get the chance. If it’s been a while, check Settings > General to see if any updates are available.

Updates are good for another reason: they let you keep an eye on how compatible older iPhones are with newer iOS versions. If you reach the point where certain functions won’t work on your iPhone or you can’t update to a new iOS at all, your iPhone’s life may be approaching its end.
