That’s what I have usually done. But then again, I have to do it because I am on beta. So it will not let you restore 16 beta with stock iOS with which phones are shipped.
Got a tip for us?

Oh, right. Keep forgetting to start with AW unpair. I'd better check in on the forum tomorrow before I start. Nice nails.
I volunteer @Wolfs . She likes to be thorough.
I hang on to them and they collect dust. I know it's a waste of money. But It's a hassle selling them so I just keep them.
Oh that was painful! Ok I just cleaned up my phone a little and did an iTunes backup that took forever!! I hate my pc.
Anyway I’m backed up, watch is unpaired (first), and I guess I’m ready to go.. right?
My phone is still traveling from Phoenix but I did notice UPS says my delivery while the same day and time, now says “rescheduled” above the date/time. Wonder if that’s just because they can’t really change to hold for pickup since it’s not scanned in yet? Do you think? Just curious to learn the details.
Oh I got an email that my return box is on the way too.

@Wolfs You are being volunteered for this! Do you accept, LOL?
The IPSW is the entire operating system and firmware for the phone. It's basically wiping the phone clean with a fresh install of the OS and the firmware. If you are using the IPSW to update, it's the same thing ... the entire OS. Whereas OTA is Over the Air and is just sort of a patch. It's not the full OS, which makes it considerably smaller in file size. I find I have less issues with bugs when I use IPSWs over OTA. It's also much faster to update than OTA. I get all my IPSWs from here:
Download iOS Firmware for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Apple Watch, Apple TV, HomePod and Vision Pro / IPSW Downloads
Download current and previous versions of Apple's iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, audioOS and macOS firmware and receive notifications when new firmwares are released.

Their links come directly from Apple's servers.
I was forced to buy three books at release. One for daughter. One for wife. One for mother-in-law.
Mine says it’s in LA which my facility has been LA for a few years (before it was Cerritos), but haven’t had anything held since before the pandemic. So hoping I have it held at the right UPS hub don’t want any delays.
Wow...almost 800 pages !!!
Heading to bed...

I hear that, I've actually never sold a device, either. But it's also cause I go so long between updates that they're outdated by that point 😂
That is one way of passing the time until your phone gets delivered....
People will still buy them. I sell all my used stuff on swappa.com
I've been annually upgrading back to back. So, there's no point!
But I still don't think you can finish reading all the posts. tho. Maybe you can cover 10 pages out of 800. It's almost 20,000 posts we're talking
