An upgrade is a change for the better while an update is just a new change. You can get an update on an app that completely ruins it while if you upgrade your phone to the newest model you know that you’re getting a better phone. Be weary though because the meaning can be diminished through marketing ploys. Any marketer can say that you’re getting an upgrade because it’s all up to the seller what an upgrade really is.
- English (US)
The words update and upgrade can be used for all different types of items to show that one is newer or better.
- English (US)
Example: I updated the app because multiplayer doesn’t work without the update.
Example: I upgraded my attire to something more fancy.

@Nolan_Bennet I see update can be good or bad depending on the situation.
On the other hand, upgrade is always good. Am I right?
