Hi Alan, I didn't download it via iTunes since iTunes told me no update was available, but for whatever it's worth, the download over WiFi was fast and the actual update process after the download was done took no longer than any other.

I'm getting very strange iTunes for Windows results since iOS 10.3 came out and I updated to iTunes 12.6.0.1. I've decided these anomalies must relate to the Apple servers being overwhelmed with users updating. Some of the anomalies I've experienced include no response after quite a bit of time when attempting to just download the update to my computer using iTunes, no response from Apple when accessing the Help, check for update from the iTunes menu, and no download completion when accessing apps in iTunes that I've updated on my iPhone and want to download that update to my computer as a backup. These sort of issues give me an uneasy feeling in my gut and I've decided to stay on iOS 10.2 a bit longer and give Apple time to work through the initial rush before I attempt to update again. I understand that the new file system introduced with iOS 10.3 is also causing the updates to take longer and no doubt contributing to the server burden.

I had the same experience as you, Sieghard. iTunes reported that my software was up-to-date, however I have yet to update iTunes itself to 12.6. I thought that might be the problem. So after backing up my phone on my laptop, I did the update to 10.3 over the air and all went well.
