Slow to update iOS? Apple's official response

After every apple pushes the iOS system update, Xiaoguo will update it for the first time to see what changes the new system has.

For iOS updates, different users take different approaches.

Users who like to try early will choose to update manually directly, Buddhist players will choose to let iPhone enable automatic updates, and "pension party" users will like to stay in the old version of the system.

In order to cope with the needs of different users, Apple has added an "automatic update" switch setting for users, which has two options: "Download iOS Update" and "Install iOS Update".

You can set the update plan for iOS by checking different options, or turn off all the switches to prevent the system from updating automatically.

In the process of updating iOS, some users who do not like manual updates have found that even if the automatic update switch is turned on, it will not be automatically updated after each new system push, and there will be a delay of days to weeks.

With this question in mind, a foreign iPhone user sent an email to Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of software engineering, and received a more detailed official response.

Craig Federighi said in an email that Apple will generally push updates for iOS gradually, first of all, to those who actively look for updates in the settings.

Apple will then gradually push to devices with automatic updates turned on after 1-4 weeks (after Apple receives feedback about updates).

In simple terms, Apple will set a priority for pushing new systems according to users' update habits.

For those users who manually update at the first time, Apple will give more priority to pushing for this part of the user, and then gradually spread to those devices that have the "automatic update" switch turned on.

After all, with billions of iPhone users around the world, it's a huge project to be able to push new systems to every device on time on such a huge base.

Presumably as Apple's engineer is also a big yali mountain, the thought of having to face billions of users every time to push system updates, Xiaoguo feels scalp tingling when he thinks about it.

In fact, Apple still respects the wishes of users in the system update, and each user can choose their own system update program according to their own needs.

If you want to update the new system at the first time, you can enter "Settings" - "General" - "Software Update" like a small fruit after the new system is pushed, and click "Download and Install" to manually update.

If you just want to update the Buddhist system, you can turn on the "Automatic Update" switch and wait for the automatic update of the system.

For the pension party, it can turn off the "auto-update" switch to prevent the automatic renewal of the system.

Of course, if you don't want to receive push notifications for system updates, you can also block pushes for new systems with a profile.

Blocking new system pushes is as simple as installing a tvOS profile to "trick" the system into identifying your iPhone as a device running tvOS.

Because iPhone can't receive system pushes from tvOS, it can block system update pushes.

Follow the prompts to restart your phone to block system updates.

Of course, this operation is something that can be taken with regret medicine.

If you want to resume normal updates, you only need to go to "Settings" - "General" - "VPN & Device Management" to delete the profile.

After restarting the phone, you can receive the system push normally.
