Important notes before updating

⏳ When the system is released, Apple's servers may suffer from severe pressure and the download speed may be very slow, so it is better to wait if you encounter problems.

📅 We recommend that you wait 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 for those who are concerned because the current beta version is already tested by the iPhone Islam team and works well with us and without any problems.

If you are using jailbreak and do not want to lose it and lose its features and applications, do not update.

👀 The owners of the jailbreak will not be able to "update", but they must restore the system using iTunes, and when the system is released It will not appear In the settings there is an update if it is jailbroken.
