4 Tips to Prepare for the iOS 7 Update Before it Arrives

If you own an iPhone or iPad you are days away from updating to Apple's new operating system, iOS7. The new system is a significant makeover and may leave you feeling like you have a new phone versus an updated operating system. Not to worry...here are a few tips to prepare for the change before it arrives:

1. Become familiar with iOS7 online. Take 10 minutes to watch the video and see the new design gallery. You'll feel like your on your way to an Apple internship. 

2. Back up your iPhone, iPad and anything that starts with an "i". If something goes wrong when you update to iOS7, you can always restore your phone from a previous backup. 

3. When the update is available, set aside an hour to update and play with the new features. If you're traveling, have back-to-back meetings, need to jump on a call every few minutes, this is not the ideal time to update.

4. Schedule an appointment at an Apple Genius Bar or call Apple support when in doubt.
