Use iTunes at home. Your computer will be faster.

i updated the wife's 5 , my 5S & my iPad all under 2hours , loving it so far !

I am curious if anyone else noticed this. The Apple office apps are missing in the App Store.

 

[John Flud]

jealous. just tried again and it said 21 hours. if others can do it in under 2 hours, then it doesn't make sense why I can't. a slammed server would delay everybody wouldn't it?

Try rebooting your phone and PC. Maybe that will help, just a thought.
Are you also sure you have a strong wifi connection?

 

[John Flud]

I'm connected directly to cable. watching netflix so the connection is fine. I'll try rebooting the iphone and computer.

 

[John Flud]

just rebooted both mac and iPhone. made sure all programs were turned off, and not even Netflix was streaming. it says 17 hours. geez. I have to be at work in 16 hours. LOL not enough time to download it.

3 hours and counting on my iPad2
Good Luck

13 hours for my wife's iPhone and I've been downloading since 4:30 EST

 

[kataran]

Yeah this is the peak point it seems. I was in and out at 1:15 pm in the tune of 38 minutes after one fail

 

[tigerinexile]

Just did my backup iPhone, took less than an hour.

Either it's your home WiFi, or different parts of the world get differential access to servers...

 

[MrMars]

From download to installed in about 3.5 hours. Playing around with settings now.

 

[John Flud]

must be less people on. I just tried it again and it took 12 minutes to download.

 

[Tpence2177]

Took me about 25-30 minutes to download when I got back to the office around an hour after launch today. Took longer to prepare the update than it did to download.

 

[Jeremy Eric Hendrix]

Started download: 24hours
Here I am 4 hours later & I'm at 23 hours.
Is there anything at all I can do to speed it up??? Don't want to cancel it only to lose what little progress I have made. Using iTunes on my desktop to do the update.

Sent from my White iPad Mini / 16gb

All of my keyboard shortcuts have been deleted. Has anyone had the same issue?

From my previous post, I will try to word this differently. When the 5 series came out, I remember Apple giving you the Office apps as a free download.
I don't use them, but they were in the Cloud to download if I chose to. After iOS 8,those apps are gone, and a search yields paying $10 each again.
What I have noticed, a search on my iPad shows free, my iPhone shows $10.
I am puzzled as to why Apple would remove them from my app selection on my phone??
