iOS5 Over The Air Updating

Well, we’ve had Apple release the first delta update to iOS5, so we can now see “over the air” updating for the first time – and I was impressed.

Only 44.2mb, downloaded, verified, and installed in 13 minutes on an iPhone 4 – (not a 4S) – and all is well.

Certainly beats plugging it in and downloading 650Mb all the time! Nice one Apple.

    If only it actually noticeably fixed any bugs, it would be rather impressive, but from what I’m gathering iOS 5.01 is still riddled with bugs (including the infamous battery drain) and we can expect iOS 5.02 very soon. However I agree the OTA update system is impressive and handy for regular users (for jailbreakers it is however The Devil, and I will never get to use it! ;) )

      I make no comment onto the impressiveness or not of the actual update, just how impressive the over the air factor is… ;)
