iOS 7 waiting room (WR)

[acerace113]

Don't know for sure how big the final is - previous betas & the GM were just under 1.5GB - and from what I understand, having ~3GB free space is needed for OTA.

Also just got a report that the iPad 3 needs 3.3 GB of free space to update using OTA

I'm going to try later. I have gotten to 1 minute remaining twice to have it time out.

iTunes would NOT show an update lol.. nice work. OTA currently "Preparing update" only took 7 mins to Download.

Anyone updating from iTunes? is it out yet?

If I have a 7.0 beta 6, will it still show the update via OTA?

Watching progress bar... Like watching paint dry. Or water boil...

36 min elapsed time from start to :installing update (done downloading, done preparing) on iPhone 5. Typing this on mini which is a few min behind iPhone... See you on the other side!

So does that mean we can only update via iTunes?

Yes you would have to use iTunes to update or restore

I guess yes. We must download the iOS from a link and then install with itunes.
I already knew it will happen but wasnt sure. now im...

will I have to force the update, and use an external link? Or will it be automatic through the update button on itunes

I know Redmond pie posts the direct download links later on in the day or the next day when a iOS version is released to the public
