Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Learn how to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.

You can update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS wirelessly.

If you’re using iOS or iPadOS 14.5 or later, you might now see the option to choose between two software update versions. This option allows you to choose between updating to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS 15 as soon as it’s released, or continuing on iOS or iPadOS 14 while still getting important security updates for a period of time.

If you can’t see the update on your device, you can update manually using your computer. Learn how to update your device manually if you’re using a Mac with macOS Catalina or later, or if you’re using a Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier or a Windows PC.

Before you update

Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch wirelessly

If a message says that an update is available, tap Install Now to update now. Or you can tap Later and choose Install Tonight or Remind Me Later. If you tap Install Tonight, just plug your device into power at night, and your device will update automatically overnight.

You can also follow these steps:

1. Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.
2. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.
3. If you see two software update options available, choose the one that you want to install.
   
4. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now. If you don’t know your passcode, learn what to do.

You might see that your device is up to date on its current version, and there’s an update available. For example, even if your device is up to date on the latest version of iOS 14, there might be an option to update to iOS 15.

If you see an alert when updating wirelessly

Some software updates aren’t available wirelessly. VPN or proxy connections might prevent your device from contacting the update servers.

If you need more space when updating wirelessly

If a message asks to temporarily remove apps because the software needs more space for the update, tap Continue to allow apps to be removed. After installation is complete, those apps are automatically reinstalled. If you tap Cancel instead, you can delete content manually from your device to add more space.

Customize automatic updates

Your device can update automatically overnight while it’s charging. Here’s how to turn on automatic updates:

1. Go to Settings > General > Software Update.
2. Tap Automatic Updates, then turn on Download iOS Updates.
3. Turn on Install iOS Updates. Your device will automatically update to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS. Some updates might need to be installed manually.
   

Upgrading to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS software provides the latest features, security updates, and bug fixes. Not all features are available on all devices or in all regions. Battery and system performance may be influenced by many factors including network conditions and individual use; actual results may vary.

Revive or restore a Mac with Apple silicon with Apple Configurator 2

In very rare circumstances, such as a power failure during a macOS update or upgrade, a Mac may become unresponsive and so the firmware must be revived or restored.

Important: First try reviving the computer. If that fails or if you can’t start the Mac from the startup volume or the recoveryOS, you must restore the firmware and erase the internal flash storage.

What does a revive do to your Mac?

A revive updates the firmware and updates recoveryOS to the latest version. A revive is designed to not make any changes to the startup volume, the user’s data volume, or any other volumes. User data may be retained if recoverable.

What does a restore do to your Mac?

A restore updates the firmware, updates recoveryOS to the latest version, and erases and installs the latest version of macOS on your internal storage. When this process is complete, any data on any internal volumes is unrecoverable.

You must restore the firmware and erase the internal flash storage if:

Reviving the firmware is unsuccessful

You can’t start the Mac from the startup volume or the recoveryOS

Before you begin

These revive and restore instructions cover the following Mac computers with Apple silicon:

iMac (24-inch, M1, 2021)

Mac mini (M1, 2020)

MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020)

MacBook Air (M1, 2020)

Make sure you have:

The latest version of Apple Configurator 2 installed on a Mac running macOS 10.15.6 or later

You may need to configure your web proxy or firewall ports to allow all network traffic from Apple devices to Apple’s network 17.0.0.0/8. For more information on the ports used by Apple products, see the Apple Support article Use Apple products on enterprise networks. For more information on whether your network uses a web proxy or firewall, consult your router manual or your internet provider.

A supported USB-C to USB-C charge cable, such as the one sold by Apple (may not be available in all countries or regions) or a supported USB-A to USB-C cable

The USB-C cable must support both power and data. Thunderbolt 3 cables aren’t supported.

How the revive and restore processes work

The revive and restore processes involve the following steps:

Step 1. Plug the Mac computers together with a supported USB-C cable, locate Apple Configurator 2 in the Applications folder or in Launchpad, then launch Apple Configurator 2 on the first Mac.

Step 2. Restart the second Mac using a special key sequence. The key sequence varies according to the type of Mac you want to revive or restore.

Step 3. Use Apple Configurator 2 to revive the Mac.

Step 4. If a revive is unsuccessful, you can use Apple Configurator 2 to restore the Mac.

Step 1: Connect the Mac computers

Make sure your first Mac is plugged into a power source and started.

Plug in the USB-C cable (along with any adapters needed) and connect the two Mac computers.

Launch Apple Configurator 2 .

Step 2: Prepare the Mac you want to revive or restore:

If reviving or restoring an iMac (24-inch, M1, 2021):

1. Disconnect the iMac from power.

2. Plug the USB-C cable into the Thunderbolt port closest to the stand.

3. While holding down the power button, connect the iMac to power and continue to hold the power button for about 3 seconds.

Note: You won’t see any screen activity from the iMac you want to revive or restore.

If reviving or restoring a Mac mini:

1. Connect a monitor to your Mac mini (so you can see when the process is complete).

2. Disconnect the Mac mini from power for at least 10 seconds.

3. Press and hold the power button.

4. Reconnect power while still holding the power button.

5. Release the power button.

The status indicator light should turn amber, and a DFU icon should appear in Apple Configurator 2 on the Mac mini .

Note: You won’t see any screen activity from the Mac mini you are trying to revive or restore.

If reviving or restoring an Apple notebook computer:

1. Press the power button.

2. While holding down the power button, at the same time press all three of the following keys for about 10 seconds:

The right Shift key

The left Option key

The left Control key

3. After 10 seconds, immediately release the three keys but continue to hold down the power button until a DFU icon appears in Apple Configurator 2 on the first Mac.

Note: You won’t see any screen activity from the MacBook Air or MacBook Pro you are trying to revive or restore.

Step 3: Revive the firmware and install the latest recoveryOS

In the Apple Configurator 2 window on the first Mac, select the DFU icon of the Mac whose chip firmware you want to revive and whose recoveryOS you want updated to the latest version.

Do one of the following:

Choose Actions > Advanced > Revive Device, then click Revive.

Control-click the selected DFU icon, then choose Advanced > Revive Device, then click Revive.

Note: If you lose power to either Mac during this process, begin the revive process again.

Wait for the process to complete. During this process, an Apple logo will appear and disappear on the second Mac.

After the process successfully completes, your Mac will reboot.

Note: If the revive was unsuccessful, proceed to step 4.

Quit Apple Configurator 2 on the first Mac, then unplug any cables and adapters.

Step 4: Restore the firmware, erase all data and reinstall the latest version of recoveryOS and macOS

In the Apple Configurator 2 window on the first Mac, select the DFU icon of the Mac to be restored.

Do one of the following:

Choose Actions > Restore, then click Restore.

Control-click the selected DFU icon, then choose Actions > Restore, then click Restore.

The restore confirmation dialog.

Note: If you lose power to either Mac during this process, begin the restore process again.

Wait for the process to complete. During this process, an Apple logo will appear and disappear on the second Mac.

After the process completes, your Mac will restart.

If the process was successful, you’re presented with the macOS Setup Assistant on the second Mac. If the macOS Setup Assistant doesn’t appear, repeat the restore process.

Quit Apple Configurator 2 on the first Mac, then unplug any cables and adapters.
