Since the carriers don't have access to Apple's systems, these updates have to be sent by Apple.
Didn't answer my question... This answer still says it comes from Apple, just carriersn't have access to it.
I'm saying i thought Carrier Updates came from mobile carries period. Without Apple even knowing...
Your phhne is connected to your mobile carrier, not Apple for 3G access
All Apple would be for Activation, and "Check for Updates" done explicitly done by the user.
Sure you have. Happens with every iOS update. It needs to have you restart to flush out the old settings and load the new ones.
Yes, but i've never seen a carrier update message saying to "restart your phne"
Athough, that is assumed anyway.
