Fwiw, iCloud doesn't have anything to do with the update.
I have iCloud de-activated entirely (do you *really* want your personal data to be backed up on an internet server run by Apple? Uhuh...) and yet the update was available straight in one of the settings pages of the iPhone.
Everything's running fine over here.

Yes you are correct. It was not the Icloud mechanism, it was, however, delivered via the "cloud"(the new IT buzzword.Sascha Franck wrote:Fwiw, iCloud doesn't have anything to do with the update.

Also smaller via OTA. 50 mb or so, vs 790 mb via Itunes..

I didn't say you were lying. I just said you have crappy luck.aMUSEd wrote:Type 1604, 1603, 1602, 1601, 1600 errors during firmware update into Google - it doesn't just happen to me. I've had it on my iPhone and iPad 2 every single update since I first bought my iPhone 3G back when it was iOS 2. Tried installing from different PCs and using several different USB cables. The only fix I have found is to kill the iTunes process during dfu mode and then restart it and reinstall everything from backup - I've had to do this every time until now. Finally I am free of iTunes and its crappy support for Windows PC's.polaris20 wrote:You have crappy luck. I support hundreds of iOS devices, and they almost never brick.aMUSEd wrote:Wow! First time I've had an iOS update go smoothly and not brick my device - this Cloud based updater is definitely an improvement
