Prepare your iPhone to update to iOS 8: initial considerations

IOS 8 extensions

Mañana se presenta el iPhone 6 y también conoceremos la date when iOS 8 will be available for the general public. Given the proximity in which we find ourselves, it is best that we know the steps to follow to update our iPhone to iOS 8 with the greatest possible security, knowing all the advantages and disadvantages involved in making the leap to the new version of the system. Manzana.

But before getting excited about all the news that iOS 8 brings, perhaps you have to rethink things a little more carefully before updating. For example, Is my device compatible with iOS 8? If it is not, we will not be able to install the mobile operating system no matter how much we want to.

At a minimum, iOS 8 can be installed on the iPhone 4s, iPad Mini first generation, iPod fifth generation and iPad 2. From then on, the system will be compatible with all new-breed devices and, consequently, will be incompatible with older devices.

Another issue to take into account is the issue of jailbreak. iOS 8 brings new and interesting customization options that we had not seen to date, so again, there are fewer and fewer reasons to need the Jailbreak, however, it is understandable that many of us want to fully customize our iPhone or install tweaks that add features that Apple has not yet implemented.

If you are one of those who prefer Jailbreak, it is best not to install iOS 8 cuando esté disponible y aunque hay rumores de que Pangu podría ser compatible con esta versión, lo mejor en estos casos es esperar a un anuncio oficial.

Finally there is the issue of stability and performance. We have several betas of iOS 8 and the final version is already cooked, or at least the Golden Master edition is, which could see the light in a matter of hours and that in most cases, this GM version has corresponded to the build that Apple launches for the general public days later.

That does not mean that we are facing the first version of iOS 8 and even if it meets minimum stability and performance, there will be applications that may fail, the battery consumption could be high or there could be some other annoying bug. Again, the best in these cases is wait for people to start sharing their first impressionsEven we ourselves will not hesitate to install the final version of iOS 8 as soon as it is available to help you make a final decision. Hopefully none of this happens and the first version of iOS 8 offers performance and stability worthy of praise.

If we have passed these initial considerations for install iOS 8 on our iPhone or iPad, then now it's time to prepare our device for it, something that we explain in this tutorial how to install iOS 8.

    Very good article!

    Let's hope iOS 8 comes out tomorrow!

    It seems a bit absurd to write this article knowing that the public version of iOS 8 will not be released until next week.

      Better still give it to me, so people who have a device that cannot be updated, who prefer the jailbreak or have doubts about the performance of the first version will have their doubts cleared for when the time comes, be it tomorrow or next week.

    It does not have to come out next week, in fact the previous years it has come out on the same day as the keynote

    They will say their impressions but they WILL NOT TELL THE TRUTH, in fact they said that iOS7 worked better than iOS6 on the iPhone4 / 4S ... A total fallacy, my iPhone4S was FLYING with iOS6 and with iOS7 with everything "new" disabled, it is very slow ... It's the kick what gives me crAPPLE to buy another device.

      Always preferable that it works and update (even if it is slower) than what Android does, which stops it from updating until it becomes obsolete ... There is a Samsung S3 with android 4.3 without the possibility of obtaining an official update ... 100% better apple!

    Could you say that ios 8 will be available tomorrow?

    It seemed perfect to me that you want to make new updates to improve the iOS device, I downloaded it this morning and everything is perfect, I simply "found" a small bug that you could improve. This is the following; When you are watching a video on YouTube and someone talks to you on WhatsApp (maybe on other networks it will also happen), the video pops up, and everything you are doing. You have to go out to the menu and go back in.
    Fix it please, otherwise ten.
