What time will IOS 5 download be available on the 12th?

[rgar3388]

The major "point" releases (5.0, 5.1, 5.2) will require iTunes to update/install. The OTA is reserved for smaller, incremental releases (5.0.1, 5.0.2, etc)

Not true. All updates will be delta OTA updates, meaning it will only download what's changed instead of the whole thing making the files smaller. If it is too big it will just ask you to use wifi. The purpose of this is to cut the cord and allow non computer owners to have an iphone or ipad as their only device. You will still be able to plug into iTunes if you want to though. But why would you want to unless it is to charge your phone.

More than likely the relase will be between 10am to 3pm.

It usually drops around noon. A little fluctuation here or there. I honestly don't care what time it hits. I am using the GM so it's usually an identical build.

What does "noon" mean?

I understand that all updates to iOS 5 will be OTA. However, that is not the question. The question is 4 to 5. Are you saying that 4 to 5 will be OTA?

I understand that God is currently on EDT. However, Steve is on PDT. Who do you believe to be in charge?

4 to 5 requires a computer with iTunes 10.5. Once you are up to iOS5, then future updates are OTA.

 

[whmurray]

It is 1142 EDT. I do not have anything anything planned between now an iOS5 except to play this silly game.

No. iOS 4 to iOS 5 will require iTunes.

The point of iOS is to get the capability to do Ota updates. IOS 5 gives you that, so you have to plug it in to get iOS 5 to be able to do that, then from there on it will always be Ota. Until the end of the world.

It's Out! Go get it

Um. iTunes 10.5 is out. Not seeing iOS5 yet. You have a download link for the iOS?

 

[Fausty82]

tomorrow (10/12).

Hopefully the official is released early just so I can have the official instead of the GM even though its basically the same thing.

 

[gregorypleau]

tomorrow (10/12).

Yup, that's what I thought. Was raising an eyebrow to that "It's out! Go and get it" posted above my response.

"It's out! Go and get it" obviously referred to the thread title about iTunes 10.5 being released.

THIS thread is "What time will iOS5 download be available on the 12th". I knew about the iTunes one, thought someone might have seen an early iOS release there that's all. I wasn't expecting iTunes until tomorrow either.

 

[Calebswag7]

Yes that was a very confusing message, I thought they had maybe released it early. But yes, just downloaded iTunes 10.5 now to stay at the computer until the second it's released!

I wish they'd roll it out by time zone or something and have it come out at midnight for each area.

Yes, me too. I mean it is obviously already programmed and ready to go, it is just a matter of making it available to us now!

Thought initially that was how it was going to go. Too bad Apple doesn't do it that way, their servers would thank them.
