Now, on to preparing for iOS 13.
1. Ask: Is My Device Eligible for the iOS 13
The first step to getting ready for iOS 13 is to check to see if your apple device is compatible.

Technology changes fast and often you don’t know what you’re missing out on.
2. Delete Apps You Don’t Use
Updating your iOS is a great time to cut the fat. So delete apps you rarely use.

If it was off, wait several hours to install the update. Ideally, wait 24 hours to be sure. This gives the Cloud an opportunity to backup your device so that when you upgrade everything is there.
