When to update or not update apple devices?

They say that Apple only releases updates when it is completely sure that it will not give errors on their devices. However, we have seen small bugs throughout the iOS betas. Nothing scandalous, that's true. But even so, we believe that it is important that you know when to update or not to update Apple devices, because from my own experience I tell you that it is not always a good idea to jump into something new, especially if it is beta.

When to update or not update Apple devices, we analyze it

Many people prefer to stay as they are than to update and try something new. However, updating should always be synonymous with renewing a device, leaving it as new. Although many times there are updates that destroy devices completely, in general, there are always more advantages than disadvantages, because you will be able to enjoy all the new functionalities and a computer less vulnerable to security problems.

However, there are many users, especially Apple, who do not want to update their devices, even on many occasions they have pending updates on iOS and Mac that are completely gone. Normally, from the Mac it already warns you about the update (although I admit that I am postponing them), but on the smartphone I always like to update instantly.

First, we'll start by looking at updates to macOS Sierra and then move on to iOS.

Is it good to upgrade to macOS Sierra?

As soon as the update to macOS Sierra arrived, I updated very fast. That made me enjoy a better operation, with all the news (such as Siri integrated) and more secure. But I did not notice one of the main problems especially when you study a career as a Computer… incompatibilities with programs. Many gave me quite a bit of trouble as some are rather quirky and not instantly available for the latest Mac.

So my advice is to update whenever you can, but if you have many programs associated with previous versions of your Mac, it could give you some problem, so check it out before taking the big leap (although you can downgrade).

What does updating your Mac offer you?

• A much faster PC. New features. Less risk of vulnerabilities.

If you want to play it safe with updates (in case you are afraid of programs), do not install the last of the last, install the penultimate for example. You will have to decide that yourself. You only face problems that you may not be able to install everything you want or maintain programs, the rest, everything will be better.

• Don't have an outdated Mac with a very old operating system. This could only bring you negative consequences, such as facing strong security threats.

Is it good to update the iPhone to the latest version of iOS?

It depends for you to use it. If you use the smartphone all day to work, you risk that you get into trouble and run out of it. If it's a beta, you can wait for the version to be stable. It is not bad either that you install the beta, since sometimes it can give some battery problem or bug but it is quickly solved. Let's say that in iOS you can let it go a bit because nothing will happen either. It is always better to update, but if you do not want to risk it and prefer to wait, it is not bad at all.

• It is important that you have updated your iPhone at least to the latest stable version of iOS. Then if you want to risk with a beta, chances are that nothing will happen (nothing as serious as you run out of mobile), but keep in mind that it is a test version and that something could fail.

WE RECOMMEND YOU The average spending in 2018 on the App Store was $ 79

Conclusion: update whenever you can

We do not recommend having old iOS or macOS on your Apple devices, because it is always better to live updated or enjoy all the new features and security improvements. Normally, it improves performance, so there is no doubt. And if you see that you do not have space, release the system a little and then update. But make backups sooner, because in case something bad happens, you can always go back.

We hope that the article has been helpful to you, how do you get along with the updates?
