The advantage of allowing more control over the content without the need for iTunes
Did you want to remove one of the songs from your computer and could only be done by connecting your device to a computer, then deleting the song through the iTunes program and then creating a synchronization? And did you want to delete only one or more contacts from the previous numbers record, but you did not find a way for that except to delete the entire record? Have you tried deleting an image from a folder after the synchronization process with iTunes and discovered that you cannot delete an image directly, and this must be done through the computer and then repeat the synchronization process again? Isn't that boring? Yes, this is what happens with users in all different iOS devices, and it was always the only solution to return to the computer and control it using the iTunes program.

Also, the size of the update is much less than the complete update of the operating system. Finally, you can now update the operating system on your device without the need for an external computer.
Essential notes before updating:
Before you make a decision Update You must take the following points into account that may prompt you to postpone this update, namely:
- Waiting for several days to see the effect of this update on whoever did it and make sure of the problems and side effects of it, and this is an optional step.
- If your device is locked on a specific network and you used jailbreak and a program to unlock this lock, do not update at all before issuing a new jailbreak and a new unlocking program, as this update will not lock your device.
- If you are using jailbreak and do not want to lose it and lose its features and applications, do not update before the release of a new jailbreak, as you will lose access to those applications that you downloaded from the Cydia store and any other features and settings related to this jailbreak.
