Hi Laura,
Not Peter replying but Ronni ;-)
Most times you would be ok; but to prevent the chance of your device running
out of battery and Data loss, Apple recommend connecting your device to a Power
Source & a Wi-Fi Network to update Wirelessly.
Connect your device to a computer if updating your device using iTunes.
"Update your device wirelessly (available in iOS 5 and later)
• Ensure your device is connected to a power source.
To avoid potential data costs connect your device to a Wi-Fi network.”
<https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623>
If Apple recommends you do this to update your devices wirelessly… I do it!
Cheers,
Ronni
