How to Brand New iPhone Every Year
Today we are going to teach you how to brand new iPhone every year. A good way to give new life to the iPhone that we already have and that every year works as if we took it out of the box.
I'm sure that you've already noticed some strange things on your iPhone . Don't worry, it's normal, but it's certainly not a sign that it's going bad. And it is that with the passage of time and the use that we give it, it can store data that makes it go a little slower. The clearest example we have when installing and deleting applications.These store data and make our iPhone see its memory reduced.
That's why we're going to give you a series of tips that will make launching an iPhone every year not a problem for our pockets.
How to brand new iPhone every year without spending money
What we must do is restore our iPhone to factory settings Once we have done this, we must install the new iOS that is released every year. This time we will install iOS 16, but with our fully restored iPhone. In other words, the iPhone will be just as we took it out of the box.
First of all, it is more than mandatory to make a backup copy of our photos and contacts Activate everything else at your whim and need, since if you have, for example , notes, important reminders, activate them also so that you save them in the copy. We can make this copy perfectly in iCloud .What's more, by checking a simple option, it will be done by itself and we won't have to worry about anything once we have restored.
To do this, we go to iCloud, enter settings and click on our profile picture. In the next menu we click on the iCloud tab. Once here, we recommend having all the tabs of the apps that you want to save data in iCloud activated. But the most important are those of Photos and Contacts. In the case of photos, we must have activated the function «Photos in iCloud» , which is activated by clicking on «Photos» .
Turn on iCloud Photo Library and Contacts in iCloud
To do this restoration, we have several options. Among them, we are going to tell you which one we advise you to do, since it is the most recommended.
Restore iPhone:
Therefore, these are all the options we have to restore our iPhone :
- Restore iPhone from the same device.
- Restore iPhone from iTunes.
- Full iPhone restore from iTunes.
These are the 3 options we have to restore the iPhone. We recommend the latest, that is, a complete iPhone restore. In this way we make sure that we delete all the content and we have absolutely nothing.
Once we have carried out this process, we carry out the same process as when we turn on the iPhone for the first time. So we will have to put our Apple ID, in which we already have our iCloud account. Once we set up the iCloud account, all our data will appear on the iPhone again (photos, contacts).
Install iOS 16 on iPhone:
It's time to install iOS 16, since our iPhone is ready.
For this, we can also do it in 2 ways. As we have already mentioned before, we give you the 2 ways and we recommend the most correct option. Therefore, we can do it as follows;
- From iPhone settings . We go to the iPhone settings and look for the “General” tab. Once here, at the top we will see a new tab with the name "Software Update". Click here and wait for the iOS 16 update to appear. Install and go.
- From iTunes: We connect our iPhone and from iTunes if we have a PC or from the Finder if we have a MAC, once the computer has recognized the device, we will see what appears 2 tabs, the one for "Check for update" and the one for "Restore iPhone". It will be the first tab in which we must click. Our iPhone will be updated and we will have it ready to be used.
Update from iTunes
In this case, we recommend performing the update from iTunes. The process will be much smoother and we make sure it installs correctly. In this way iOS 16 will not run the risk of installing with a bug that does not allow us to enjoy this iOS properly.
Important step to leave your iPhone like new:
Once we update and we see the welcome on the screen, we will follow the steps until we reach a question. When it asks us if we want to restore a backup, use the iPhone as new we must choose “iPhone as new”. This will make the device as fresh from the factory.
We will have to install, again, all the apps we had. That is why it is good before updating the iPhone, to take a screenshot of all the applications that we have. Also, it's a good time to purge them and get rid of the ones we use the least.
If it doesn't give you the option to set up an iPhone as new, after updating, connect the iPhone to iTunes and click on the “Restore iPhone” option. It will leave it as fresh from the factory.
Therefore, by following these steps, every time a new iOS comes out, we make sure to release iPhone every year. A good way to thoroughly clean our device and enjoy each iOS as it deserves.
