How to update your iPhone
When the time comes, open the configuration application on your iPhone and go to General> Software update (Note: We always recommend making a backup copy of your iPhone before installing an important update). Wait for the download to appear, then touch the update now. It is better to do this while your iPhone is connected to a charger and using Wi-Fi, since the download can be large and the installation process can take some time.
It is possible that the download does not appear immediately, and it may be better to wait a while before trying to update your device. This is because a large number of people will probably seek to install iOS 26 at the same time, which can exert tension on Apple servers, which leads to slow discharge speeds or that the update is not temporarily available.
If you are not in a hurry, it can be worth waiting for a few hours before trying to install iOS 26, or even wait one or two days to be on the safe side. However, it doesn’t matter how much time it gives it, it will not spend much time until you experience the latest iPhone improvements as part of the software update.
