Hi Alan, Yes, if you use 5 or 6 different WiFi networks then that could be inconvenient. I mostly use my Home WiFi and my work WiFi and a couple of times a year I visit my parents and may use theirs or that of a friend. I don't find entering 3 or 4 WiFi passwords very inconvenient, but everybody is different and for some it may be a daunting task knowing they have to reconnect to even just their own home WiFi. In this case removing all apps from the app switcher and at least shutting down the phone for 30 seconds and turning it back on is a good compromise. I know a couple people here said they don't even close out their apps when they upgrade. All I can say here is to each their own. I have heard a lot of stories where people upgraded without doing any of the recommended things and they end up with horrible battery life, unexpected crashes or other weird inconsistancies. I am just not prepared to risk that especially since doing even the Reset all Network settings at best takes 2 or 3 minutes.

If one moves around a lot to many different wi-fi networks, losing this can be a major inconvenience. Obviously, the cost of this inconvenience must be weighed against any benefit this network reset offers when upgrading.

This is just good practice because an iPhone which has not been rebooted for a long time can have stuff in memory and so on which may negatively impact an iOS update. Doing a Reset all Network Settings in Settings, General, Reset does in fact not delete any networks, but it will as the name indicates "reset" all network modems to factory settings and it will delete your WiFi password which means after you reboot the phone you have to go to Settings, WiFi and reconnect to your WiFi. However, it will also clear out anything which potentially could effect an update from memory and it is something some people who know a thing about iOS recommend. It's not strictly necessary, but while I have often read on the list how people had problems where an update didn't complete or really messed up the phone, I have never in 5 years had a single problem with an update not going perfectly smooth and I do follow my own advice here.
