Update directly from the device
Open Settings, then General, then Software Update, and it appears to you that there is a new update, such as the following image, just click on Download and Install (It requires a free space in your device of at least 1.68 GB in the case of the iPad Air and increases with the device being newer, especially the iPad).
All you have to do is press "Download and Install" as you always do for any update.
If you have a jailbreak, you will not be able to use this method, and you must have Restore
Update via iTunes:
The difference between Restore and Update:
Before we start the update, we must give an overview of the difference between the Restore and Update processes and their actual impact on the iPhone.
Update: It is the process of updating the device automatically without your interference, as iTunes downloads the update file from the Apple website and updates your device, and it does not result in losing any data (it is assumed that, but a backup copy must be taken as previously mentioned to ensure that no accidental problems occur).
RestoreIt is to download a completely new version as if you bought the phone again, and some prefer it when updating, which is mandatory if you have a jailbreak and want to update
Sometimes the update work may not be suitable for those who have a jailbreak in their device, and they must choose Restore, but in our experiments the update was completed without a problem.
Update steps:
1
Connect your device to the computer, open iTunes, and hit the Check For Update button - sometimes iTunes knows that Update is present.
2
A message will appear informing you that there is an update for your device, which is iOS 11, so press Download And Update (an error message may appear and the reason for this will be pressure on Apple's servers)
3
A message will appear informing you of the new features that have been added in iOS 11, and you can read it, then click Next
4
A User Agreement message will appear, Agree accept it
5
Now you will start the process of downloading the file and updating your device, but you should note that the download and update process will take some time.
After the update, you may be asked to enter the password for the cloud "Phone Finder". If you do not remember it, please wait and do not update your device
Quick tip:
After the update is completed, browse your device and go to the features and make sure that they are set correctly, specifically the properties of email and calendar accounts, by applying the settings and then contacts (previously it was contacts, contacts, calendar Mail, Contacts, Calendars) And make sure that all of your accounts are there. And if you find anything missing, restore from the backup you took, as we mentioned in an article Pre-update.
Manual update:
This method is preferred by some and it suits everyone, especially those who currently have a jailbreak, but it will delete all the contents of the device so A backup copy is required So that you can recover what was erased.
You can do a manual update by downloading the update file through the following links, depending on the type of your device, as shown:
* The update is large in size, and it is possible that your connection will be disconnected before downloading it all, so use a download manager application. We will update the article in the next hours to add the links.
You can download the system file from here
Then, after the download is complete, connect your device to the computer, then go to iTunes and press the Restore button with the Options button on the Mac or the Restore button with the Shift for Windows and the keyboard. (Make sure that the file extension is IPSW, if not, just change the extension manually to IPSW) A window will appear for you to choose the downloaded file and then start the update process for iPhone.

After the update:
Applying the previous steps will ensure the success of the update, God willing, and it should be noted that the first synchronization process between the iPhone and the device between the end of the update process will take time as the data stored in your device will be transferred to the iPhone, and upon its completion you will notice that even the safari pages on the iPhone previously opened before The update remains the same, and so does the data and other features.
