iOS 8 boasts numerous exciting features awaiting exploration. However, before upgrading, there are several key points to note:
1. Check Compatibility
If you're using an iPhone 4, unfortunately, your device won't be able to upgrade to the latest iOS 8. Apple's supported devices for iOS 8 upgrades include: iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPod Touch gen 5, iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad 4, iPad Air, iPad Mini, and iPad Mini Retina.
2. Free Up Storage Space
iOS 7 OTA update only requires about 700MB of space, but Apple recommends having at least 3GB of available storage for the installation of iOS 7. Therefore, it's advisable to clear up some space on your device.
You can delete unused apps, move photos to iCloud or other cloud services like Dropbox or Google Drive, or transfer data to your computer if you prefer not to delete them.
Connect your device to your computer, then open My Computer. Go to the DCIM folder on the drive named after your device to copy videos or photos to your computer. Once done, you'll notice a significant increase in your device's memory.
3. Check for Updates
It's advisable to update to the latest iOS 7.1 version to smoothly transition to iOS 8. Also, make sure to update all apps to their latest versions to ensure they function properly post-update.
4. Back Up Your Data
Almost every iDevice user has experienced an 'Apple freeze' at least once, so creating a backup of your device beforehand is prudent before upgrading.
There are 2 backup methods: Via iTunes and iCloud.
In iTunes, you can click on the Back Up Now button in the device's Summary section after connecting it to your computer. If a computer isn't available, you can use the iCloud backup option to backup data on the device.
5. Wise Decision-Making
New operating systems always run slower on older devices, such as iPhone 4 users complaining about battery life and sluggish performance after upgrading to iOS 7. Therefore, consider carefully before updating older devices like the iPhone 4S or iPad 2. It's wise to wait for others to upgrade first, then decide whether to update to the latest iOS version or not.
