Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


iOS updates introduce new features that let you do even more with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Update your device wirelessly or using iTunes with a few easy steps.

Here are some things to check before you get started:

• Back up your device to iCloud or iTunes.
• Make sure your device has enough available space to install the update. Use iTunes to update if you don't have enough space, or remove content from your device. Tap Settings > General > Usage to see how much space your content uses.

Update your device Wirelessly

The easiest way to update your device is wirelessly, also called “over the air.” Here’s how:

1. Plug in your device to a power source.
2. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Software Update screen on iOS
4. Tap Download and Install to download the update. Updates might download automatically while your device is connected to Wi-Fi and a power source. 
5. Tap Install when the download completes, or tap Later to install the update later. If your device is passcode enabled, it will ask you to enter the passcode before installing the update. 
6.  Software Update Screen

Some iOS updates aren't available as over-the-air updates. VPN or proxy connections might prevent your device from contacting the iOS update servers.

Update your device using iTunes

If you can’t update wirelessly, or if you want to update with iTunes, follow these steps:

1. If you use your device's Personal Hotspot for your computer's Internet connection, update your device wirelessly or connect your computer to another network.
2. Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
3. Plug in your device to your computer.
4. In iTunes, select your device. 
5. In the Summary pane, click Check for Update.
   
6. iPhone 5 summary pane

Click Download and Update.

Additional Information

If you’re updating from iOS 4.3.x or earlier, you need to update using iTunes.

What is iPhone DFU mode?

What is iPhone DFU mode?

DFU mode is a state that you can put your iPhone into where it can interface with iTunes but does not load the iPhone operating system or boot loader (this is what really differs DFU mode from recovery mode). DFU stands for Device Firmware Update.

How to enter iPhone DFU mode

• Connect the iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes
• Turn the iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone)
• Hold down the sleep/power button and home button together for exactly 10 seconds, then release the power button
• Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected

When you are in DFU mode your iPhone screen will go completely black
iPhone DFU mode Even though the screen is black, that doesn't mean the device can’t be interfaced with either iTunes or a custom firmware client (for jail-breaking, etc).
Remember that if you see the restore logo, iTunes logo, or any message on the iPhone screen, you are not in DFU mode but standard Recovery Mode. Again, DFU mode is signified by having a completely black screen on the device. If anything else is the case, repeat the steps above until you enter into DFU mode successfully.
