[PConline Information] Apple recently pushed the official version of the iOS13 system. I believe many iPhone users have updated and experienced many new functions and features. However, almost every time a major version of the iOS system is updated, many users who are still using the old model a few years ago will be in trouble. I am afraid that upgrading to the latest system will lead to a jam, and the system will not be downgraded.
This article is to solve this problem. I happen to have an iPhone6sPlus in my hand, and I have upgraded to the iOS13 system last night. Maybe I can share some experiences with you. We won’t go into details about the new functions and features of the iOS13 system. Today, we only solve one problem. Is the old machine upgraded to iOS13 stuck or not?

Will the old machine get stuck when it is upgraded to iOS13?
First, here’s a tip. Because it is a major version upgrade, the volume of the system installation package is relatively large, reaching 1.86GB, so it is estimated that the installation time is relatively long. When updating the iOS system, it is necessary to ensure that the remaining power of the mobile phone reaches more than 50%. For the sake of safety, it is recommended that you plug in the charger before upgrading the system.
From the system description of iOS13, it is obvious that the "dark" mode is the most prominent focus, which has been introduced in many media articles and will not be discussed in detail. On the contrary, the description of "iOS13 is faster and faster" in this introduction has aroused my interest in experiencing it quickly.
Estimated installation time is up to 7 hours?
Sure enough, the estimated time given by the system is as long as 7 hours. Do I have to come back from the last shift to continue? Just kidding, in fact, it took about 1-2 hours to upgrade as a whole, and the main time was spent on the download part. So here is a hint, I suggest you arrange your time reasonably, and don’t upgrade when there is an emergency.
After going through the boring upgrade process, the phone rebooted and made some simple settings, and the entire upgrade process of iOS13 was completed. Although I chose the "dark" mode when I turned on the computer, except for the self-contained software such as system settings and APPStore, it seems that most apps are still white, and there may be an adaptation process.
The new "dark" mode of iOS13
To put it simply, I didn’t expect iOS13 to surprise me, because according to Apple’s rhythm, the machines in this era of iPhone6sPlus should have reached the end of their lives. In fact, the iPhone6s is also the lowest model that can use iOS13 (except SE), and the small screen machine such as the iPhone5s has almost disappeared.
Through some simple experiences,I can clearly feel that the response speed of the system has become faster.. Please note that I am talking about responsiveness here, not fluency. The so-called responsiveness is the response of the system to the execution of your command, which is more related to the execution mechanism of the system, and fluency is more based on performance considerations.
IPhone6SP works well running iOS13.
For example, this iPhone6sPlus used to run iOS12, which was like Zhang Sanfeng’s Tai Chi. Although it was vigorous and agile, it still felt like a leisurely and leisurely walk in its bones. After upgrading iOS13, the system response is like Xiao Li’s "The martial arts in the world are only fast and unbreakable", and it will be ready at will.
The fluency experience is more of a test of the processor and memory. Can the iPhone6s series, which has been released for four years, still be a meal? The author has opened more than a dozen commonly used apps, involving daily applications such as information, navigation and music. Because of the special background mechanism of iOS system, I didn’t expect to feel stuck when switching back and forth, and the quick refresh was also smooth.
The fluency mentioned here can’t be compared with the latest iPhone11, and some differences can be felt compared with the iPhone8 series between the two. After all, it is a 4-year-old machine, and it is the minimum requirement of iOS13 system. Occasionally, it can feel a little stuck for a moment, but the general application conforms to the category of "basic fluency".
In addition to SE, iPhone6s series is the minimum hardware requirement for iOS13.
In addition, some apps occasionally flash back. There are also some programs, such as dragonfly FM. When I was in iOS12, I couldn’t open it because of a version update. Even if I upgraded to iOS13, I still stayed on the open screen page. Of course, this iOS13 system is not very relevant, which may be a problem of compatibility between the model and the APP.
According to some netizens’ feedback, the power consumption of the old machine will increase after upgrading IOS13, but some people don’t feel obvious, which may be directly related to their battery status. Especially for the machines in this era of iPhone6s, it is a routine operation to change the battery for two to three years, and it is not too expensive.
Generally speaking, after upgrading iOS13, my iPhone6sPlus brought more surprises than problems. After a short experience, I also encountered some small bugs, such as font misplacement, which are harmless. I believe that the subsequent upgrade will be gradually improved. It is reported that 13.1 is on its way and will meet you soon. If you are not eager to adopt early adopters, you can wait for the first-class version of the system to be updated, and it is not too late to update it after the first patch.
Final conclusion: it can be used and upgraded!At present, there may be some bugs in the initial version of iOS13, but they will all be fixed in the end, but the relatively quick correspondence and fluency are really eye-catching.
Is it worthwhile to upgrade the old iPhone11?
Finally, let’s talk about whether the old machine is worth upgrading the iPhone11 through this article. If you are still sticking to the old machine of iPhone6s series, it means that your demand for hardware may not be high. Continue to stick to it and directly change to the 5G version of iPhone12 next year. Today’s 6S is only a few hundred dollars, so it’s better to keep it for another year and use it than to sell it.
If it’s an iPhone8-level machine, I think we can consider upgrading. After all, many features of the iPhone11 are also worth experiencing. Today, the iPhone8 can still sell at a good price. The author sold it for 2,700 yuan at the beginning of this month, and there is little pressure to buy the iPhone11 again. After using the 5nm chip +5G version of the iPhone two years later, it is beautiful ~
The above is a little experience about upgrading the old iPhone6s to iOS13. I hope it can help you.
