During the last few weeks, as well as in the following ones, the news about iOS 18 and its versions They will be multiple, because Apple would be working hard to update all the brand’s iPhones and range of products, directing them to Apple Intelligence functions.
However, in the countries of the European Union, where Spain is located, as well as in China, these tools are not available, so many users think about the reason that could lead them to install these updateswasting only time.
iPhones need to be updated
Today we are going to see the reasons why you should have your iPhone updated, since it will not only be a matter of having, or not, new functions, since there are more things that depend on it.
- Security: The main point is security, since an old version of iOS could have gaps that cybercriminals could use to access or infect your phone. A more recent version will correct any problem detected by Apple, and that is why, although betas will not have to be installed, it will have to be done when the official ones are released.
- Performance: Although it may seem silly, because you think your iPhone is “fine,” developers update their apps based on the latest version of the system, which is why they sometimes force you to update WhatsApp or another app to continue using it. Failure to do so will lead to versions with lower performance, higher CPU temperatures, and, therefore, also worse battery life.
- New features: Apple not only adds tools focused on Apple Intelligence, so each version you download will have minimal improvements that you don’t know about, but that are hidden, something that could increase your autonomy, system settings, etc.
- Bug fixes and errors: Sometimes an app may close, not ring instantly when you make a call, etc. These types of small bugs, which we mainly see in the first versions, such as iOS 18.0, will be corrected as iOS 18.1, 18.2, etc. appears, so it is another important point to keep in mind if you notice any errors.
In short, even though you may not see any benefit from updating your iPhone, and you always postpone the update, now you know that there are multiple advantages, all of them small, but which together give us more than we think.
And you, are you one of those who updates your phone the same day a new version comes out, do you wait for a while to check that they work well, or are you even, like me, one of those who installs a beta, despite the risks? What can it mean to be the first to know about Apple’s new tools, functions and designs?
