How to download iOS 15
1. Go to the Settings app, and select General.
2. From General, tap Software Update. If the iOS 15 beta is ready, it will be there waiting for you.
3. Tap Download and Install. You will have to input your PIN or passcode and accept Apple’s terms of service.
4. When the phone is ready to install the OS and restart, it’ll notify you with an on-screen prompt. Accept that prompt, and your iPhone will shut down.
As the software installs, you’ll see an Apple logo and a progress bar. Once everything’s completed, you’ll be prompted to unlock your phone with your passcode and enjoy your new iOS 15-powered device.
Note that because the new operating system is fairly large, expect the download to take a bit of time. You are advised to ensure that your iPhone is plugged in and charging if possible, so that your battery doesn’t run down during the upgrade process.
