If you've had an iPhone or cellular capable iPad for an extended period of time, you've undoubtedly received a notification about a carrier update. Some are mandatory and don't give you an option to say no or remind me later. Others just hang out and bug you occasionally until you actually perform the update. One of the biggest questions we get asked here at iMore by you, our readers, is what exactly is a carrier update and what does it actually contain?

I've had one carrier update on my 4S that made my data connection very unstable, I had to restore to fix it.

I don't remember ever getting one from VZ for. Myy old 4S or my 5S.
Good Luck

Depends on the iPhone and carrier and iOS version. I remember bell sent out a carrier update for iPhone 4S users that had iOS 6.1.3 installed but only iPhone 4S's with iOS 6.1.3 installed and on bell got the update.

I haven't had one on either of mine. Though to be fair, I've had neither more than 3 months yet.
