iOS 12 and Watch OS 5 released yesterday. I didn’t rush to download and install them yesterday because, well I forgot. I did this morning manage to update all my apple devices (other than my mac). The iPhone and iPad update were fast and easy. I was curious to see a couple of new applications that I will play with a little more. Continue on your PC popped up that was interesting. The voice memo also popped up, also interesting. I use the voice memo when I am in the car and need to capture a phone number from voicemail. Normally I haven’t used the functionality for other things but may try the new version just to see what the gain is. I still have the painful memories of updating my PPC phone.
That said I thought I would share my process for upgrading. The first thing I do is a full backup of the system being upgraded. That is so that I can do a restore. Then I start the upgrade. When the upgrade completes, I do another backup since the upgrade changes the OS. It is a simple process but sticking to it helps you in cases of recovery, just in case.
Backing up your phone and pictures becomes more and more critical as we move down the path of smartphones.
Of the last 2000 pictures I’ve taken, nearly 30% of them have been done with the cellular phone camera. Now, I know I am low and that there are many people that don’t even have digital cameras. So the 500 or so cellular phone pictures I’ve taken may be high for the last 30 days. In part because I went to a wedding and a couple of other family events in late August/September.

In my case the quantity of taken pictures depends on season cause the most high-quality and interesting pictures are obtained during daylight hours. So more than 100 in the late spring, summer and the early autumn, less than 100 in the rest of the time.
Also totally agree that backing up is very critical due to reasons you’ve mentioned.
You always share the most amazing pictures! Funny how many digital images we take. Back when my dad was taking pictures his big days were 24=-36. Now we take 200, 300 or more sometimes!
I love to take pictures, but now to buy a better camera lol.
Pictures (along with the stories) are a great gift for everyone in the family! A chance to share.
I use my Nikon for hummingbirds since they are so fast. But for my sunsets my Canon Power Shot is my go to camera. I took 70 photos just yesterday of the sunset. Sounds crazy but it was beautiful.
It is funny how many more digital pictures we take. I have, on occasion taken 200 or 400 or more in a single day. When the mood strikes 🙂
I know and it is so cool not to have to have a limit. Especially when it comes to sunsets…
