eli5, How do phones upgrade their IOS

347 viewsOtherTechnology

Imagine someone opens a box with a new iPhone 12 inside. Out of box it came with iOS 14. When the phone gets upgraded to the latest software, does it automatically gets updated to the latest one, or will the software get upgraded incrementally (14 to 15 then to 16…..)?

I have an Android for testing purposes and it seems to have to do its updates in order where iOS does not.

As others have said, it depends on how the OS is built as to how updates must be done. Either is possible.
