While this may be just like any other Monday, it&#8217;s also the day that the latest mobile operating system from Apple becomes available to the public. iOS 12 has many features built into it to make it more stable, efficient, powerful and secure. It&#8217;s been tested for three months by hundreds of thousands of developers and public beta testers, and iOS 12 is ready for prime time. In this Rocket Yard quick guide, you&#8217;ll see just how easy it is to upgrade to iOS 12.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can My iPhone, iPad or iPod touch Be Updated&nbsp;to iOS 12? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Check the list:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>iPhone<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">iPhone X<span class=\"all-small-caps\">S<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">iPhone X<span class=\"all-small-caps\">S<\/span> Max<\/li>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">iPhone X<span class=\"all-small-caps\">R<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">iPhone&nbsp;X<\/li>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">iPhone&nbsp;8<\/li>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">iPhone&nbsp;8&nbsp;Plus<\/li>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">iPhone&nbsp;7<\/li>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">iPhone&nbsp;7&nbsp;Plus<\/li>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">iPhone&nbsp;6s<\/li>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">iPhone&nbsp;6s&nbsp;Plus<\/li>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">iPhone&nbsp;6<\/li>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">iPhone&nbsp;6&nbsp;Plus<\/li>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">iPhone&nbsp;SE<\/li>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">iPhone&nbsp;5s<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>iPad<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul class=\"device-family-list\">\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">12.9-inch iPad&nbsp;Pro 2nd generation<\/li>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">12.9-inch iPad&nbsp;Pro 1st generation<\/li>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">10.5-inch iPad&nbsp;Pro<\/li>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">9.7-inch iPad&nbsp;Pro<\/li>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">iPad 6th generation<\/li>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">iPad 5th generation<\/li>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">iPad&nbsp;Air&nbsp;2<\/li>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">iPad&nbsp;Air<\/li>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">iPad&nbsp;mini&nbsp;4<\/li>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">iPad&nbsp;mini&nbsp;3<\/li>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">iPad&nbsp;mini&nbsp;2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>iPod touch<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"typography-compatible-list\">iPod&nbsp;touch 6th generation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although Apple says that all of these devices can be updated&nbsp;to iOS 12, not all features work on all&nbsp;devices. You&#8217;ll also find that older devices run very slowly with the new operating system &#8212; I&#8217;ve been testing iOS 12 with an iPad mini 2, and it&#8217;s almost unusably slow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to Prepare for iOS 12<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This part is easy! We&#8217;ve already published <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/45779-a-quick-guide-to-preparing-your-devices-for-ios-12\">a quick guide to preparing your iOS device for iOS 12<\/a>, and following these instructions can ensure that everything goes smoothly when you are ready to update.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Knowing When the&nbsp;Update is Available<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you follow any social media, you&#8217;ll know almost immediately when iOS 12 is available because <em>everyone<\/em> will be talking about it. For those of you who don&#8217;t follow social media, it&#8217;s available to everyone now. Simply launch Settings, then navigate to General &gt; Software Update. Your iOS device contacts Apple&#8217;s servers to determine if an update is available, and if it is, you&#8217;ll see something similar to the screenshot below:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/iOS12UpdateMockupSPS.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"866\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45918\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/iOS12UpdateMockupSPS.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;iOS\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/iOS12UpdateMockupSPS.jpg 400w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/iOS12UpdateMockupSPS-55x120.jpg 55w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/iOS12UpdateMockupSPS-149x323.jpg 149w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/iOS12UpdateMockupSPS-88x190.jpg 88w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/iOS12UpdateMockupSPS-55x120@2x.jpg 110w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/iOS12UpdateMockupSPS-149x323@2x.jpg 298w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/iOS12UpdateMockupSPS-88x190@2x.jpg 176w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Provided that you&#8217;ve prepared your iOS device for the update using <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/45779-a-quick-guide-to-preparing-your-devices-for-ios-12\">our handy guide<\/a>, you can just tap Download and Install to begin the process. Make sure that your iOS device is on a Wi-Fi network, that it&#8217;s plugged in, and that it has at least a 50% charge when starting to update.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that once the update becomes available, a lot of people will be trying to update at once. This means that the download process can take an unusually long amount of time to complete. Don&#8217;t despair and don&#8217;t worry &#8212; eventually you&#8217;ll have the files downloaded to your iOS device, and it will begin the update.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make Sure You Know Your Apple ID and Password<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One key thing to remember before starting the update: you will need to know your Apple ID and password. Many of us use these two key pieces of information every day so it&#8217;s not an issue, but if you rarely use your Apple ID and password, make sure you know what they are before you begin.<\/p>\n<p>What if you forgot the password? Once again, don&#8217;t worry &#8212; just <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT201487?cid=tw_sc_gr18_091618\">point your favorite web browser to this Apple support page for instructions on how to reset your Apple ID password<\/a>. This page even has instructions on what to do if you forgot your Apple ID.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Updating Via iTunes and Your Mac<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There is another way to update your iOS device, and that&#8217;s by plugging it into your Mac. You&#8217;ll need to have the latest version of iTunes (12.8.0.150 as of September 17, 2018) installed.<\/p>\n<p>Use that USB to Lightning cable to connect the iOS device to your Mac and launch iTunes; you&#8217;ll need to wait for iTunes to recognize your device. That tiny iPhone icon outlined in red in the screenshot below shows that there is an iPhone attached:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45919\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45919\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Screenshot-0770.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45919\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Screenshot-0770.jpg\" alt=\"(This icon in iTunes shows that an iPhone is attached to your Mac)\" width=\"400\" height=\"157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Screenshot-0770.jpg 400w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Screenshot-0770-284x111.png 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Screenshot-0770-190x75.png 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Screenshot-0770-190x75@2x.png 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45919\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>(This icon in iTunes shows that an iPhone is attached to your Mac)<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Next, click that icon to see information about your device and the current operating system version.
