Yesterday, when I plugged in my iPhone to give it a quick charge, I got a message of another software upgrade to Version 2.2.1. This is the second upgrade I am doing for the iPhone since I got it last month.
Upgrading the software version is actually really simple. I just follow the instructions prompted by iTunes, but in case you are not sure what to do, these are the steps that are usually required.
Step 1: Plug in your iPhone 3G. iTunes should detect the new upgrade and this message will pop up.
I usually choose “Download and Install”.
Step 2: To see the progress of your upgrade, just go to the side panel and click the name of your device. Mine is “Hewlett Packard” as you can see (because of my laptop, LOL) as I did not bother to change the name I was assigned to when I first downloaded iTunes.
Step 3: After the download is completed, a message that says “Updating iPhone Software” pops up. This should mean it is at the installation phase.
Step 4: When the upgrade is completed, the summary page will appear. If it is successful, the software version should show Version 2.2.1.
The whole download and installation of 246.4 MB took about 20 minutes for me. Looks really easy, isn’t it?
