IOS 8

[Anonymous]

Can anyone tell me when the IOS 8 comes out? I forgot, is it this week?

Which is why I don't use OTA. It's a massive file and is uber slow sometimes due to apples servers being hit.

At least iTunes method downloads the iOS 8 Files first and then updates the iDevice.

Best not to update immediately then and to wait and see.....?

Pleasure.

As you know I typically leave it a couple of days unless the devs say its clear of any major bugs.

Then smaller niggles if any are remedied by patches.

The servers will be in meltdown on the 17th so it's adviable to wait.

I remember leaving iOS7 for a couple of days last year for the servers to calm down but OTA isn't a problem on the two 64gb devices we have as they aren't even close to been a quarter full.....

The 16gb one might struggle this year though so will do that through iTunes just to be safe.....

I didn't use to use OTA for other reasons ~ but as you say it's a matter of choice.

I have around 9Gb free so I could I suppose.

Never had a problem so I do what's most convenient at the time - everything is backed up anyway so no biggie either way.......
