I can't see that nobody at all from the entire group of people who beta tested didn't update via iTunes at some point.

I remember back during the iOS 8 roll-out, that a genius at the Apple Store told me the same thing about how for best results, one should elect to update via iTunes. If memory serves, I do recall reading some anecdotal data, on the web, back then, confirming such a notion. Hay, it can’t hurt to try, right? (smile) I think if I were going to update today, I would elect to do so via iTunes, just in case there’s even the slightest chance of having a better experience. Perhaps some brave soul, who has already updated via OTA should reinstall via iTunes and let us know. (Big Smile).

I think whoever said this doesn’t really know what they are talking about and I bet if you update via iTunes you have the same issues as everybody else. In any case, when I clicked “Check for Updates” in iTunes it told me it could not contact the update server and while this may have temporary, the over the air update took 18 minute sfrom start of download to Voiceover starting up again after the update so it couldn’t have gone more smmothly.

Since the iOS image needs to exist on the phone before it can be installed from the phone, your storage habbits may not allow you to actually do an over the air update without deciding which app you want to (hopefully temporarily!) delete. Considering an iTunes update first installs the OS, then restores your data from the backup it hopefully pulled from your phone pre-update, it's not unreasonable to assume it blows what's currently on the phone away before doing the install. ________________________________________ From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of goshawk on horseback Sent: September-21-17 1:37 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Apple rumors about not upgrading over the air Importance: High I have to say that I think this is rubbish. I generally do over the air updates, the only ones I do via iTunes is if I get a new iPhone, want to restore from an iTunes backup, but the IOS needs to be updated before that can be done. can't say I have noticed any real differences. Simon ----- Original Message ----- From: Davy Cuppens To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2017 6:00 PM Subject: Apple rumors about not upgrading over the air Hi folks I want to post a short storey about someone I know that contacted Apple about the buggy ios11. Apple helpdesk would have told him not to update over the air but update with Itunes 12.7. If you do so, most of the known bugs will not occur. Updating over the air would result in a kind of adaptations, fixes in ios10 so that after the upgrade ios11 will come up and install. If you do it over itunes, really the whole ios will be deleted and replaced by the new one. I have difficulties to believe this. What are the opinions?
