This is how to install iOS 14 on your iPhone and why you might want to take the extra step, especially if you’re on an older iPhone.
If you’re using an older iPhone that you update every year, you can do a clean install and skip restoring from backup. This can help with speed issues and other issues and give you a new phone feel without upgrading to iPhone 12.
After a few years your iPhone may start to slow down, but a clean install can give you a fresh start and extend the life of an old iPhone. If you’re planning to buy the iPhone 12 in October, it’s not worth your time, but if you’ve been keeping your old iPhone for another year or two, this is exactly what you’re looking for.
This will take longer than upgrading to iOS 14, but it can help you avoid some of the issues that come with an update.

This is how to clean iOS 14 to your iPhone.
The best way to do a clean install of iOS 14 is with your Mac or PC, which will wipe it, install iOS 14, and then set it up as a new device. You can choose to restore a backup to your iPhone after doing a clean install, but the biggest benefit is to start from scratch.
Before you start a clean install of iOS 14, you need to make sure you have a good backup in case you need to use it. You’ll also want to make sure your photos are backed up to iCloud Photo Library, Google Photos, or Amazon Photo Storage. Your contacts are probably backed up to the email account or iCloud you are using, but double check that. Even if you plan to do a completely clean install, we highly recommend making sure you have a good backup.
