The day to see the final version of iOS 9 has arrived
It's important that if you're not familiar with the new features of iOS 9, now's the time to learn about them and be ready to update your Apple device . Among the new features, you'll find a new News app, multitasking capabilities, and if you have an iPad, you'll be able to use two apps simultaneously with the new split-screen feature.

Additionally, you'll have access to an enhanced Siri assistant , meaning it will be smarter and more proactive , as well as more accurate in voice recognition. An important feature for all users, also included in iOS 9, is the significant improvement in battery performance, among many other things you should discover for yourself by updating.
But if you don't feel ready to perform this update, don't worry, as there are 5 ways to prepare for iOS 9 safely , without any complications, and that prioritize user convenience, regardless of whether your device is jailbroken or not. Remember that if you removed any of the limitations imposed by Apple using modified kernels, your device is jailbroken.
1.- If you have jailbroken your system, carefully consider whether or not to update.
The first step in preparing is deciding whether or not to keep your jailbreak . If your device is jailbroken, you must make this decision because updating to the new operating system will result in the loss of your jailbreak. This is because there is no jailbreak available for iOS 9. If you choose to keep the jailbreak, nothing will happen, but you will not be able to update.
If you decide to remove the jailbreak from your device, you only need to update to iOS 9, but keep in mind that you will have to perform a complete restore of your device.
2. If you don't have a jailbreak, enjoy updating via OTA.
Not having jailbroken your device leads us to the second way to prepare for the update, since you will have the convenience of updating via OTA (Over The Air) , simply by going to your device settings, looking for the general options and going directly to the software update option.
Of course, you should consider that in addition to updating via OTA , you have another equally valid option, which mostly depends on the user's preference: performing a clean restore . Many consider this useful and convenient for large iOS updates, as it basically allows them to start from scratch.
3. Back up your data using iCloud or iTunes
The third way to prepare that you should consider is of vital importance, or at least it is for many: backing up your files . You can do this using iCloud or iTunes , depending on your preference, but you should always make a backup. Also, after installing iOS 9, it will ask you if you want to set it up as a new device or restore from a backup. You already know which is your best option.
4. If you already have the previous version of iOS 9, you won't have any problems.
One detail that many didn't expect is that if you already have the iOS 9 GM version on your device , which was released last week , you're already enjoying the final version of iOS 9 and won't need to perform any additional updates. So, this fourth way to be prepared is already covered, and you'll be ready to continue enjoying this new experience.
5. If you are not satisfied, simply restore and wait for a new update.
Finally, there is an option for those users who are undecided or skeptical about Apple updates, as they will have a maximum of one week to revert to the old version of iOS 8. If they wish, they only need to find and download version iOS 8.4.1 and thus downgrade from iOS 9 to this version, and they can do it by connecting to iTunes, finding the option key, holding it down and clicking on restore.
It's clear that the latter method isn't the most suitable or recommended, since we should always look to the future . If this iOS update doesn't convince you, it's very likely that the next one will, but to try them out you must keep your device updated, and that's definitely the best advice anyone can give you.
