If your iPhone is running out of space, it could cause problems when trying to download the hefty iOS 18 update, which is likely to exceed 1GB in size. It’s a good idea to have a quick clear-out and delete old files and photos that are no longer needed.
If you’re keen to be among the first to get your hands on iOS 18, ensure you’re connected to speedy Wi-Fi. As previously mentioned, this update will be a large file and it’s not advisable to use your mobile data unless you have unlimited 5G access.
It’s also wise to charge your battery and plug your iPhone into the mains – some Apple updates won’t run if the battery level is too low, so now is a good time to top up.
