Apple releases iPhone update – download now possible
Today is the day. With immediate effect, users can download iOS 15, iPadOS 15 and watchOS 8 for free. With this, Apple keeps its word and, as promised, releases the iPhone on time for the end of the working day.
Update from September 20, 2021: As of now, as promised by Apple at the event for the iPhone 13 iOS 15, iPadOS 15 and watchOS 8 available for download. As always, the easiest way is via the software update (Settings> General> Software update or directly in the settings in the upper area). If you have activated automatic updates, you don’t have to do anything else.
As expected, there may be delays due to the high volume of users. Those who can still wait may secure the free download of the systems a little later.
As Apple announced in advance, will iOS 15 can be installed from the iPhone 6s (Plus) upwards and therefore have the same requirements as iOS 14. The same applies, of course, to iPadOS 15, which will also be released today.

It is now clear: Apple will almost certainly present the iPhone 13 at the Apple event on September 14th and announce the release date for iOS 15 on the other. For the latter point in time are therefore already two possible dates for the release of the iPhone update predictable.
iOS 15: Two release dates imaginable
If Apple does it like last year, iOS 15 will be available for download just one day after the September keynote. Ergo: This would already be on Wednesday September 15th the case. However, this very tight time window in 2020 was the exception.
Traditionally, Apple usually releases the update shortly before the new iPhone generation goes on sale. And here the rumor mill agrees. After Apple presented the iPhone 13 on September 14th, the first pre-orders will be accepted on September 17th. Deliveries will start on September 24th. As a result, the release of iOS 15 would be in said Week from September 20th at. Either way, we no longer have to wait long.
If you like to use FaceTime, you will be very happy about the upcoming update to iOS 15. The reasons for this are seen in the video:
Older iPhones are also supported
Anyone who is already using iOS 14 on their iPhone can be happy, because iOS 15 is compatible with all Apple phones that are compatible with the previous version. Even an iPhone 6s (Plus) from 2015 will still be able to use the upcoming update. However, will usually not all new functions supported by the old hardware. For example, the “Live Text” feature (text recognition in images) requires an iPhone XS or newer.
