One of the biggest advantages of owning an Apple device is immediate software updates. If a new version of iOS[1], macOS[2], tvOS[3], or watchOS[4] is available today, you get to download them all the same day as long as your device is supported. Thankfully, Apple[5] also supports lots of older devices with its operating system updates. The most important update at the moment is iOS 11[6], which will be available on Friday for eligible devices. Before you update, be sure to back up all of your data[7] because you don’t want to lose your precious photos, messages, or documents[8]. Here’s how you can download iOS 11 on your iPhone[9], iPad[10], or iPod touch[11].
