However, what actually happens if we disconnect the device while it is updating? The Apple Watch requires us to have it charging in order to do this, it is not like the iPhone, which with enough battery does it without any problem. In my case it happened, and I fell to the ground while it was in the process. What happened to it?
Disconnect Apple Watch while charging
Well, as we were saying, The Apple Watch needs 50% battery to begin its installation of the new system, but also be connected to a charger, since otherwise, even if it is at 100%, it will not start the process.
Because of this, and wanting to try out the latest beta of watchOS 11, I have updated my Apple Watch, or at least tried to, since when starting the process, and after trying to grab another cable, I pulled on the watch charger, causing it to fall to the ground.
At that moment my heart stopped, and I am quite careful in these processes, since I know that an error can corrupt the system and leave me without a device, and even more so if we are talking about an unofficial beta, however, nothing happened.
And it is precisely that it is required that the watch has at least 50% battery, because this can happen, and not only due to human carelessness, but also because the power goes out at home, something that is not common, but that has happened to all of us at some time, and that can coincide with this. Hence, Apple takes security measures, and, therefore, It doesn’t need to be charginghe simply wants to make sure that no matter how long it takes, you will have enough battery to complete it, because otherwise, you would run a high risk of it being left halfway and your system dying.
This applies to other devices, such as iPhones, which need a certain percentage, depending on their iOS, to be able to update, however, if you disconnect them once the installation begins, nothing will happensince, except with a very degraded battery, it is calculated so that this level of autonomy is sufficient to complete the process.
In short, don’t worry, and if your equipment allows you to start the installation, you will only have to worry about not hitting it or pressing certain buttons that will force it to turn off, since that could damage it, but not the fact that it will be disconnected from the power or the power will go out in your house.
And you, did you know this? Has something similar ever happened to you? In the past, computers were corrupted much more often, however, it is very difficult for that to happen today. Leave us a comment with your experiences.
