Does an update download all files or only those specific to the device?
I have an older iPhone and want to know if all update files are downloaded to my device or only those specific to the model.
I don’t need most of these releases and hope they will not install to just take up precious space
iPhone 8 Plus
iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 15
The updates are device specific, but do remember that each update includes important security features that help to protect you on the internet. For that reason alone, you should always do the updates and who knows you may also find a use for some new feature.
