eli5, How do phones upgrade their IOS

353 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…..)?

Related to this, Apple are busy rolling out a new system that can update iPhones to the latest software without taking them out of their boxes. Apple Stores will be able to placed boxed iPhone on device that will talk to the phones via NFC, which will then connect to wifi to do the update.

That should mean that someone buying an iPhone that was made months ago will walk out of the shop with an up to date phone.
