How to Safely Update Your Apple Devices
The release of iOS 10 didn’t exactly go smoothly.

If you only use an iPhone for phone calls and don’t use a lot of apps or media with it then you can probably skip this and throw caution to the wind. Otherwise it helps to be aware of best update practices and what they can and can’t protect you from.
