Is your device compatible with the new iPhone update?
Not every iPhone will receive the iOS 16.4 update. You need at least an iPhone 8, which was released in 2017, to run iOS 16.

Next, you have to create a backup of your iPhone. By default, your iPhone should back up itself every time it’s connected to power and Wi-Fi during your usual sleeping hours. However, if this backup feature is disabled..
you can go to Settings > your name > iCloud > iCloud Backup and tap Back Up Now to create a backup of your device.
Additionally, you can create a backup of your iPhone via Finder on your Mac. Just connect your device to your computer, open Finder, choose your device…then create a backup.
Apple also recommends that you archive your backup, so that it is not overwritten by other backups. Also, make sure you do these 3 things.. You want the download and installation process to go as smoothly as possible..
The best way to do that is to do the following:
- Make sure your iPhone is connected to power. Note that you will not be able to download iOS 16.4 if your phone’s battery is less than 50%..so it is better to connect your phone during the update. Even when plugged in, the battery should be more than 20%.
- Connect to Wi-Fi. Note that you also won’t be able to download iOS 16.4 with cellular data..so connect to a stable Wi-Fi network. Empty enough storage space. If you’re running out of storage, you’ll need to erase some of it before you can download and install iOS 16.4.
- Go to Settings, choose General, then choose iPhone Storage to delete large files and apps.
