Question: How Long Does iOS 12 Take to Download?
Contents

If you’re moving from an older version of iOS, it could take a lot longer. The installation took about eight minutes to complete on an iPhone 5s. If you’re moving from iOS 11 to iOS 12 for the first time, you can expect your installation to take even longer. Perhaps as long as 20-30 minutes.

How long does the iPhone 12 take to update?

If you’re moving up from iOS 14.7, your installation could take around seven or eight minutes to complete. It took just around that on an iPhone 12 Pro and an iPhone X. Your iPhone might reboot itself a couple of times during the installation process, but this is perfectly normal.

Why is iOS taking so long to download?

About 30 minutes if your iPhone is fully charged with a stable network connection. There are two factors influencing the speed of downloading and installing the update files: internet connection and the size of the update. So please make sure that your device has been connected to a stable WiFi network.
