With the release of iOS 5 I think I've heard we now have OTA updates. What does this mean for me? I've only updated my phone from iOS 4 to iOS 5 (with a cable attached to my computer and with iTunes). Will this only help me with the next big update since apple only has updates about once a year (just a rough estimate by me) or is there something else I too look forward to?
Apple doesn't have updates only once a year. Yes, their major OS upgrades (From 3 to 4 to 5) are done once a year, but they do improve their current OS continuously throughout the year. In a few weeks they'll be releasing 5.1 to fix some bugs, most notably those causing poor battery life. You will be able to download this update over the air and then install it all without ever having to plug your phone into a computer.
I haven't as of yet. I'll know more tomorrow at work when I'm on it all day. I'm anxious to see if there's any noticeable improvement regarding the battery. It was fine on 5.0.0, but hey, if it will improve just 10%, it's worth it.
I just received my notification from Apple for the 5.0.1 update, downloaded it OTA. Whole process took about 6 minutes.
I didn't get an notification. I wonder if my hotmail didn't allow it to come through. Still... Update was fast and smooth. Loved not having to go through iTunes and that hassle.
