8 Things to Know About the iPhone XS iOS 13.7 Update

Published

on

Apple’s iOS 13.7 update could have an enormous impact on your iPhone XS or iPhone XS Max’s performance.

The company recently replaced iOS 13.6.1 with iOS 13.7. iOS 13.7 is a small milestone upgrade and it brings new features and bug fixes to the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max.

While some iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max users have seen a performance boost after moving to the new software, others are running into problems. Some of these issues are brand new, others have carried over from previous versions of iOS 13.

While most iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max users should install iOS 13.7 today, others might want to hang around on their current version of iOS for a little bit longer.

Some of you might even want to wait for Apple’s next iOS release.

If you do decide to go through with the installation, you’ll see a fairly small download if your iPhone XS or iPhone XS Max is currently running iOS 13.6.1.

If you’re running an older version of iOS 13, or if for some reason you’re still running iOS 12, your iOS 13.7 download will be larger. That’s because the changes from the iOS updates you skipped are baked into the firmware.
