Two-minute tip
In this segment a Macworld staffer will present a quick tip for your Apple device. This week, it’s more like advice than an actual tip.
iOS 13 will be released on September 19. If you plan to upgrade, we strongly advise you to back up you iPhone before installing the new operating system. While OS upgrades usually go smoothly, there’s always a chance that something goes wrong or won’t work with the new OS. So it’s a good idea to back up your device before installing iOS 13.
