The iPhone 13 pre-orders<\/a> went live on 19th September, and there were some great iPhone 13 deals<\/a> on offer. The four new handsets will go on sale on Friday, 24th September, so buyer\u2019s don\u2019t have long to wait. The iPhone 13s come with iOS 15 pre-installed, but any prior models, like the iPhone 12, will need an update.<\/p>\n So here\u2019s a breakdown of how to access the iOS 15 software update, what new features you can expect on your iPhone and the full range of compatible devices.<\/p>\n Jump to:<\/strong><\/p>\n Apple said iOS 15 would be available as a free software update starting on Monday, 20th September \u2013 but did not reveal the specific time it would go live.<\/p>\n Based on earlier iOS releases, it\u2019s expected that the download will become available in the UK at around 6 p.m. As reported by MacRumors<\/a>, Apple frequently pushes out new software around 10 a.m. Pacific Time, so that gives the rough time of release.<\/p>\n iOS 15 will debut SharePlay \u2013 which lets you stream movies and TV shows, listen to music or share your iPhone\u2019s screen while on a FaceTime call \u2013 alongside a \u201cFocus\u201d mode that lets you minimise distractions by limiting app notifications and letting you set a status, so your contacts are informed in real-time if you are set to busy.<\/p>\n FaceTime calls will now have spatial audio, which makes voices sound like they are actually coming from the direction the person is on the screen. In theory, this makes video calls more like a natural conversation as it\u2019s more like talking in person.<\/p>\n How notifications are shown on the iPhone has been given an overhaul. Photos of the sender will now appear, and app icons have been made larger, while users now have the ability to get a collection of notifications delivered as a single package at their chosen time of day. There are also better options for muting and silencing.<\/p>\n In iOS 15, the Maps app has more detail than ever \u2013 showing 3D landmarks and more detail about road traffic, markings and augmented reality walking routes \u2013 while Safari has a new bottom bar to make it easier to scroll between open tabs, the ability to let you surf the web using voice commands and a customisable start page.<\/p>\n Live Text has been enhanced in the update, letting you extract words from images on the web or being viewed via the Camera app, and it can now translate into seven languages: English, Chinese, French, Italian, German, Portuguese and Spanish.<\/p>\n You can see the full list<\/a> of new iOS 15 features on the official Apple website.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The new iPhones \u2013 the iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, the iPhone 13 Pro Max \u2013 will all come with iOS1 15 pre-installed, but others are fully compatible:<\/p>\n Thinking of upgrading? Read iPhone 13 vs iPhone 12<\/a> comparison.<\/p> Once iOS 15 goes live, you may get a prompt that an update is available. If so, tap that notification to install immediately. Alternatively, you can choose to install it later in the night, which means it will go onto your device overnight if the phone is charging.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t get a notification, plug your iPhone into a power source and connect to the internet. Go to Settings > General > Software Update > Install Now.<\/p>\n The same step-by-step process applies to iPads.<\/p>\n iOS software is downloaded wirelessly, but if the update is not showing up you can download the update<\/a> from Apple and install it manually via your computer.<\/p>\n It\u2019s advised to turn on automatic updates, which means your iPhone will be able to update at night while it\u2019s charging. To use this, go to Settings > General > Software Update. Tap Automatic Updates, and then turn on Download iOS Updates.<\/p>\n For the latest news, reviews and deals, check out the RadioTimes.com Technology<\/a> section.
