You can download iOS 11 either over-the-air, or via iTunes. Before you chose your method, you must check whether your phone is available for update.
We recommend waiting for the finished iOS 11, not the beta version. The new operating system will arrive in September or October, depending when Apple releases the new iPhone 8.
Connect your phone to a Wi-Fi network before you start the update. Check your battery status. While no software is bug-free, new and major software upgrades are pretty prone to error, and can make your iOS device feel like a piece of untested hardware instead of the well-oiled machine it claims to be.
When it comes to iOS, Apple has a history of making a few mistakes before working out the major bugs in its software. The updated version, iOS 8. In short, you might want to wait for brave early adopters to jump in first to see if the coast is clear.
Here is an article detailing how to check for bit apps which are incompatible with iOS Name required. Mail will not be published required.

Regardless, the bit train left the station years ago, and Apple was warning about it for years before that.
So yes, it could be a problem, just the way it was once a problem that Classic apps eventually stopped working in Mac OS X. But at some point, people just have to move on or accept all the functionality and security issues that come with running obsolete systems in a highly interconnected world.
Frankly, I personally think Mail is a mediocre app and has been for a long time. It might be there are other factors that explain why the numbers you saw were so low too as indicated in other posts, yes. Yes, well, coming from Eudora ever Mail client comes across a bit mediocre. Just try set up a professional looking signature in the hopeless Outlook, which is not possible and very difficult also in Mail for sure.
Anyway few of them can properly handle Outlook. Also, regarding bits — I do hear from several users that they still need to stay in a system were it works. The third factor you did not mention is the massive waste of time and money to prop up the Apple stock basically that is involved in moving to Big Sur, both in terms of the upgrade itself, but in getting used to new apps, new interfaces, new bugs etc.
Guess I tend to see too much problem and in the end new things and better security is nice. You probably can update to BS, but do you really need to? Is there something about what you have now that is problematic, are you sorely missing some feature BS offers? Just curiosity? Curiosity is basically a good trait, but remember, curiosity killed the cat. I am still running a Mac Pro running High Sierra. I had to flash it to a 5,1 to get it this far. But Satisfaction brought him back… as the saying goes.
I look at this as a security thing. I want to run the most secure Mac I can and at some point, Apple is not going to keep updating Mojave against attacks.
I also think this late iMac I bought might run a bit faster with a more optimized OS. If you do upgrade, make sure to have a clone ready beforehand just to have all your bases covered. I think people earn both money and time productivity on not upgrading too regularly and buying stuff too often.
Know a boss of a multi-billion dollar company that refuses to upgrade from Mavericks as he has fairly good reasons to think the later systems are not stable enough for his use.
I am still running But when they do, will it be safe to bring my up? Resolution is stuck at 72dpi regardless of what you request. The dimensions seem to be changed opposite the requested resolution change. I have had to go to PhotoShop and bear the extra steps.
If syncing your iPhone to the Finder formerly to iTunes is important to you, you might want to wait until that is fixed in Big Sur. I had decided that it might be time to upgrade my iPhone 6S from It seemed like its battery problems were a thing of the past. Having an actual headphone port was a big reason but perhaps not so logical looking back at it. More storage and a slightly larger display are nice too. Am I missing something? There was a nasty data lose bug in mail. I have never found a definitive statement on is being fixed in either This is what has kept me on Does anyone know if this has been fixed?
This is one of a handful of things holding me up from upgrading from Please, Apple QA advocates, explain why this bug is still here a year and a half later, and upper level support appears completely unawares. I am confused. Are there similar problems reported when installing Big Sur? My understanding is lost email was primarily a Catalina issue and there was some hope that Big Sur would do away with all that. It also affects some Exchange accounts.
And the same account on two different Macs may work on one but not on the other. I strongly suspect that if you had no problems on Catalina you would not have problems after updating that same system to Big Sur.
I like this article. Thank you. I would like read more about Mac eg. This really depends on the bug. If you are under the assumption that Apple did something bad in Catalina and that code migrated to Big Sur, of course, yes. But if you assume that Apple tried something in Catalina that turned out to be bad and then eventually backed it out in Big Sur though some would argue that already happened in late Catalina updates , you could deduce that simply skipping Catalina should avoid trouble.
Revert to backup. A simple clone of the system does most of that, but…. As with all cloud syncing solutions, sync is not backup. IMAP is sync. Sync is not backup. Easy to say, not so easy to do if you only discover the bug affects you one or two weeks or two months? By then trying to merge your backup from before the upgrade with all the changes to your email since will be a massive headache in the best case scenario. My primary mailbox is a Smart Mailbox based on flag status and read status.
Irritating, but not injurious or fatal. In my last hurdle to move to Big Sur, I am currently using SnapScan for my SM and it is working well, other than the fact that I am still using the Adobe Acrobat pdf creator for pdf scanning which is my main workflow. I tried the Abby one that was included with the recent update of SnapScan thank goodness for the update but was not impressed with the quality of the conversions.
On a last note, I do have an external computer running Mojave and will keep that available, but was trying to install Aperture into it and could not figure out how to get it there as going to the App store and clicking on the cloud icon to download its has no effect. PS - I was trying to create an external drive to test this all out on for a Big Sur test run, but having an external disk played havoc with Backblaze as well as my itunes library which is currently spanned across 2 disks.
It is amazing how things change slowly and a big change like this can really change the workflow. If you are on a notebook, I would say: NO. Whatever Apple did with Big Sur has been a total cluster when it comes to power management for me.
I keep updating and hoping they fix it. Weeks to months pass. Another self-drain incident. Another bug report ticket. It seems that the recommended path is via a Time Machine backup, correct? Not at all. Clones created via SuperDuper! Read the blog entry from the developer of SuperDuper! So, I just wanted to make sure ….
The restore is done purely using system resources; SuperDuper! You create the Big Sur version by installing the OS from Apple and then using system-provided migrate procedure to add the data. Upgraded last week to BS. Just my 2 centimes. Odd, my sacrificial Mac with BS also had poor power management while asleep always warm , but it got better as soon as I turned off PowerNap.
