I own a galaxy note 2..tmo ran an update that pushed to unique IMEI's 
sequentially. That way, you do not..

1. Murder your last mike packet network, which is your bandwidth bottleneck.

2. Murder your ggsn/whateverpacketnodeyouwant closer to the core.

3. Anger your paying customers who would like to use packet data successfully 
on an ios download day.

These people (Apple) represent themselves as smart guys, but their actions 
reflect otherwise. I bet this would be a larger deal to Nanog people if your 
Internet stopped working as the result of 100% Linux adoption. That is very 
close to what this is.. Tens of millions of people trying to update their 13 
ios devices at the same time. Who owns a single ios device? A household could 
do 5-10gb worth of updates in a single day..

I personally do not own an ios device, and I see close to 3 gigs worth of 
update traffic at my house. These things are everywhere, and this problem will 
not stop.

They don't, these are users who actively goes into the software upgrade
menu and pressing "upgrade".

I believe the nagging won't start for quite some time.
