User level: Level 1 (4 points)Hello,
I can see two available software versions: iOS 26.7 and iOS 27. Before proceeding, I would like to know whether it is necessary to update to iOS 26.7 first, or if I can safely upgrade directly to iOS 27 without installing the intermediate version.
Thank you for your assistance.
Kind regards,
Shyam

Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗
Yes, you can update directly to iOS 27 without installing iOS 26.7 first.
iPhones allow skipping intermediate updates for the latest version.
Good Luck! 👋🏼😉

Hi Smiliñ Brian,
Thank you for your quick response and helpful information.
I needed this clarification for work purposes, as I will be communicating the upgrade process to my colleagues. I also wanted to find out approximately how long the update takes when performed over a 5G connection, but I'll go ahead and test it myself now and share the results with the team accordingly.
Thanks again for taking the time to help. I really appreciate it.
Have a great day!
Kind regards,
Shyam
