All iPod Touch firmwares
Since yesterday, Apple began gradually releasing the official firmware release iOS 7-th version. Therefore, tablet owners iPad, players iPod touch and telephones iPhone have already started updating the firmware of their devices. Previously, beta versions of iOS 7 were officially available only to game and application developers. Now the final iOS 7 is available to all users.
The creators of version 7 really radically changed the design operating system Apple iOS, at first it seems flat and unusual. Previous versions of iOS did not evoke such varied emotions, since only some details were changed and supplemented with convenient features. With the advent of iOS 7, even two camps emerged: the dissatisfied “old school” against the new flat design, and the other part of users, who are not embarrassed by the slight flat similarity with Windows Phone, for the novelty.
In any case, flat design is a new, albeit risky, step from developers.

Three ways to update iOS firmware
There are 3 ways to update the iOS firmware, but I repeat once again that if you have an iPhone locked to an operator with an unofficial unlock, then under no circumstances should you update the firmware. Only officially unlocked iPhones or iPhones unlocked from the factory can be updated. If you have never updated the iOS firmware of your iPhone before and don’t know which one you have, then slow down with the update. Users of iPad and iPod touch do not have such problems, so owners of tablets and players can safely update.
There are 3 ways to update iOS firmware, we have already gone through some of them, they are marked with links:
To carry out the first two update methods, you do not need to download the firmware from the links indicated above, everything is done in automatic mode. If you cannot update iOS using the first two methods, or if you are using a computer with limited Internet traffic and speed to update, you can use the third method of updating the firmware.
Friends, good luck with your updates and fewer “bricks”!
iOS is the simplest operating system in terms of how an inexperienced user can interact with it, and this is one of the main reasons for the popularity of the iPhone and iPad among absolutely all categories of the population. Almost any user can solve problems that arise in the iOS software environment and even do it themselves.
What is iOS and what types of updates are there?
So iOS is shell, which controls the hardware modules of the iPhone or iPad. The main advantage of this operating system is that it is produced by the mobile gadget manufacturer Apple. In addition, third-party application developers also focus on a fairly narrow range of devices, which means there are virtually no problems with compatibility, software version selection, and installation.
Another important nuance is that Apple distributes its operating systems for free, without any hidden conditions (necessary subscriptions to products or services, availability of paid previous versions etc.). That is, you can download the current firmware version for your device from the official website without the risk of installing a pirated copy with malware.
Apple releases 3 types iOS updates:
1. Official (final).
2. Beta versions for registered developers.
3. Beta versions for ordinary users, registered in.
We talked in more detail about all types of iOS updates.
How to find out which version of iOS is currently installed on your iPhone or iPad
To find out which system controls the device in this moment, you need to go to the menu “ Settings → Main → About this device" and pay attention to the line " Version".
To check for iOS updates for this device, return to the previous menu " Settings → Basic", select “ Software Update" and wait for the data to load.
The reasons why updates may not appear on an iOS device are described.
How to install the new (latest) iOS on your iPhone or iPad
The easiest way to reflash an iPhone is over the air. To do this, just go to the section mentioned above “ Settings → Main → Software Update", press the button " Download and install". In this case, all existing data will be saved on the device. It is important to remember that installing iOS over the air should never be done if the device is jailbroken.
