Keeping your iPod, iPhone and iPad firmware up to date is essential for a well operating iOS device. Downloading and installing the latest version of the firmware will allow your device to run at its optimal level. When your iOS device is running the latest firmware, you can expect its battery life to last longer, performance to rise and connectivity to improve. While it may take a few hours for the software to properly install, the benefits far outweigh the wait. Take advantage of any necessary fixes and new feature roll outs that will make your device enjoyable to own as intended by Apple.

A device that is not running the latest firmware version will run noticeably more sluggish leading to additional problems. If your iPod, iPhone or iPad is operating on an out of date firmware version, it will most likely work harder draining its battery life faster and leading to a replacement much sooner. When your device is healthy, you won't have to replace it with the same model saving you some well deserved dollars. Most iOS devices have a life expectancy of two years allowing you enough time to save for the next latest and greatest model.

If you jail broke your iOS device, downloading this official Apple firmware software will allow you to restore it back to its factory settings. If you've decided that jail breaking your iPad, iPod or iPhone wasn't the best move, you can go back to its original framework. You're probably going to have to start at square one, meaning that you'll have to reset your favorites and other customized settings, but there's a reason why iOS devices have such a loyal following; because they're the most consistent and problem-free mobile apparatus on the market today and for the foreseeable future.
