The simplest way to update your iDevice by the device itself. To do this, go to General Software Update Settings; the update for iOS 11.3 should be listed l. Just follow the instructions and in a few minutes, the whole process will be completed.
You can also install iOS 11.3 via iTunes. Just connect your device to your Mac / PC and open the software that, most likely, the iOS 11.3 availability notice appears immediately. If not, you should go to Summary, inside the page of the device, and click the Search for Updates button. Then, just follow the instructions on the computer screen and wait for the process to be completed.
The third method, the least used, involves downloading the system update directly to your computer and applying the update via iTunes. This can be a good option if you have multiple devices at home in this case, downloading just one file will serve to update all, which saves time and bandwidth. To complete the process, simply download the update package for your device:
watchOS 4.3
In the new version of the Apple watch operating system, we have the possibility of controlling the songs on the iPhone by the watch, and it is even possible to play, via AirPlay, the iPhone music for some speaker by the watch, a new animation when you put the Watch to recharge, Headboard Mode even in portrait orientation (due to AirPower, which carries the watch in that position) and Activity circles for the day on the Siri display.
The full release notes for watchOS 4.3 you see below:
About this update:
- Control volume and playback on the HomePod using your Apple Watch
- Restores the ability to control music on the iPhone
- Use any guidance in the Headboard loading mode
- Siri's display now shows the progress of Activity circles and when new songs are added to Apple Music selections
- Addresses an issue where Activity achievements were incorrectly awarded to some users
- Corrects an issue where Siri's music commands did not work correctly on certain audio devices
Some features may not be available on all devices, countries or regions. For more information, visit: https://www.apple/us/watchos/feature-availability/To obtain information about the security content of this update, visit this site: https://support.apple/ en / HT201222
Before starting to download watchOS 4, make sure your Apple Watch has at least 50% battery remaining. When the update is actually going to be applied, I need it to be connected to power. You don't have to worry about backup, as this is done automatically on your iPhone. But keep in mind that these Watch updates take a long time, so sit back and relax. đ
tvOS 11.3
Already on Apple TV, the news is due to the automatic exchange of the frame rate on the Apple TV of the fourth generation feature previously limited to Apple TV 4K, the arrival of the âApple TVâ application and, believe me, Siri's debut in Portuguese on set-top box da Ma (reader's tip Matt Cardoso)!
With Siri on Apple TV 4K and fourth generation Apple TV, we can now search for movies, shows, music, apps and more, using only our voice!
To update your Apple TV, there is no mystery: open the Settings app, go to System and then Software Update. Everything done OTA (over-the-air), that is, by air; the time for the update to be applied depends mainly on your internet connection.
First update to HomePod
Yes, the Apple speaker received its first update today as well. But, unfortunately, he is not encouraging.
According to the release notes, the update brings only âgeneral stabilization and quality improvementsâ.
To update, just open the Home application with iOS 11.3 already installed, press (3D Touch) the HomePod square, touch âDetailsâ and then âDownload and Installâ.
