How to get iOS 13

How to get iOS 13 beta from Apple


Update: iOS 13 is here, and it's fairly painless to download and install and totally free. Our full guide to doing so is below.
The next update for Apple phones, iOS 13, is finally live - and the nearly-launched iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max and iPhone 11 aren't the only ones that will benefit from the big operating system upgrade. Here's how to get iOS 13 on your iPhone, as well as a brief on what you need to do to prepare.
Not all iPhones will be able to download the upgrade - sadly, anything older than the iPhone 6S or later, iPad Air 2 or later, the new iPad mini 4 and iPhone SE can't upgrade. And your newer iPads won't get it either...because they're set to get iPadOS on September 30.
But if your iPhone is compatible, scroll below for a step-by-step list to update your device to iOS 13.

0. If you've downloaded the iOS 13.1 beta, it's slightly possible you'll lose data when upgrading to iOS 13

Here's a funny issue: users who'd downloaded the latest iOS 13 beta - version iOS 13.1 beta - have had issues restore iCloud backups on a new iPhone 11 series phone, which doesn't have iOS 13.1 yet – just iOS 13. Obviously, the versions are mismatched, and if you try upgrading, Apple will warn you with stern text about potentially losing data in the process.
While TechRadar ran through the same process and didn't seem to lose texts or emails, it's possible that some won't make the transition from 13.1 beta to full 13 right away. 
You can revert to your last iOS 13 beta backup before you'd upgraded to iOS 13.1, which might have been a week or more ago, though that might require backing up through iTunes. 
Otherwise, it's possible you might be able to upgrade when the versions catch up - when iOS 13.1 fully releases, we mean - which will reportedly be earlier than expected on September 24, per AppleInsider.

1. Before getting iOS 13, backup your iPhone

If you want to download iOS 13, we recommend you back up your iPhone first – just in case. That way, you can restore your phone’s settings, apps, and data to normal (that is, on a stable version of iOS) should something go wrong. 
So before downloading to iOS 13, head over to our supreme guide on how to back up your iPhone.

2. Download from your Settings page

Now that we're out of beta territory, it's very easy to download to iOS 13. Unfortunately, you'll need to be connected to WiFi to upgrade.
Head to Settings > General > Software Update. Hit the button to update to iOS 13, and you'll start the process. 
It's a bit extensive, and depending on your connection, could take minutes or hours - and it might be longer as everyone's trying to upgrade to the new OS version. The phone will need to download the update first, then prepare your device. Stay strong. 
If you have Automatic Updates turned on, the update should auto-install anyway according to Apple protocol - i.e., overnight if your device is plugged in.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know —...

UPDATE  1 : 2019/12/16 4:35AM PST Previous rollouts UPDATE  2 : 2020/01/06 2:15AM PST Canada Two weeks after the  Galaxy S10 line received its stable One UI 2.0 build , it’s time for the Galaxy Note10 and Note10+ to get the latest Android flavor. According to a report by  SamMobile , the two late-2019 Samsung flagships are receiving the Android 10 update in Germany, although the rollout is limited to a small group of beta testers. This stable release follows a  five-round beta testing  that concluded just a couple of days ago. Samsung is rolling out the stable build only to its beta testers in Germany to possibly look out for any major bug. Besides SamMobile, the confirmation also comes from  some Redditors  who got the update in Germany just a few hours back. The same Reddit users also mention that Google Pay remains broken even after installing this final Android 10 firmware, although it wasn’t immediately clear how widespread t...
