can I install the update from here in the UK or will I need to wait until
I return to the US to
install the update? Also does the update address the VO bugs cited on
the reflector?

iOS 7.0.4 download
iOS 7.0.4 has been released by Apple for compatible iPhone, iPad, and
iPod touch models, with a
build of 11B554a. The update includes several bug fixes and improvements,
and addresses an issue
with FaceTime calling that caused video chat and voice calls
<http://osxdaily.com/2013/11/07/make-facetime-audio-voip-calls-ios/> to
fail continuously under
some circumstances. Other small feature changes may be present, but have
not been specifically
mentioned or discovered yet.
The iOS 7.0.4 update is small but users are still advised to backup their
iOS devices to iCloud or
iTunes, if not both, before installing the update on their respective
hardware. The update is
available for iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C, iPad
2, iPad 3, iPad 4, iPad Air,
iPad Mini, Retina iPad Mini, and the iPod touch 5th gen. Additionally,
iOS 6.1.5 is available for
the iPod touch 4th gen, which resolves the same FaceTime issues for that
device.
Download iOS 7.0.4 with OTA
For most users, the easiest way to get iOS 7.0.4 on their devices is to
use the over-the-air update
mechanism:
* Open "Settings" and go to "General", then to "Software Update"
* Choose "Download & Install" and agree to the terms and
conditions to begin the update
Users must be on a wi-fi network to be able to download the update
through OTA, despite the delta
update size being about 18MB. It may sit on "Preparing Update." for a
while before completing, this
seems to be routine for just about every iOS device, just let it sit and
it should complete
eventually.
Another option is to connect a device to a computer with iTunes and
download the complete update
through there.
Experienced users who are comfortable using firmware files
<http://osxdaily.com/2010/11/23/how-to-use-ipsw-files/> can also choose
to download IPSW files
directly from Apple's servers using the links below, then apply the
update manually through iTunes.
This is generally considered more advanced and is best reserved for those
who have experience with
updating through IPSW.

The majority of individuals should use the OTA update method, it is by
far the simplest.
The update appears to enable Bluetooth, so if you don't use the feature
be sure to turn that off
when your device reboots. Disabling unneeded features can help battery
life last longer on just
about every iOS device.
