This is good and all but never understood the purpose of a dl only option?

This shows up on my iPhone 4 as well. Hopefully it means the end of my iTunes purchase download problems on my phone.

::EDIT::
As I typed this, the main post was updated to show compatible devices .

Most likely for those ultra busy on-the-go types. Download now, run away to business then come back and it's ready to install while they watch the C-SPAN episodes they DVR'd.

Shame there's still nothing for the weak WiFi reception on the new iPad.

[CupertinoRat]

Only a few fixes? Have they fixed the battery life ?

Download it and update later when you get a chance. Some people just want the download but want others to test it out .

You can download it and install it later, not everybody have 10+mb connection, that way (example) you download the firmware without the iPhone connected.

Safari seems snappier.

I'm just happy for updates at all! Before the iPhone made smartphones main stream, i've owned about a dozen phones with the ability to update, but the manufactures never pushed a single update.
The only phone I had that updated regularly was my beloved Sidekick. (How I miss thee, dearest Sidekick) *tear*

[Spetsnazos]

nothing impressive...

will this fix "airplay stops working when iphone sleeps"

[BassPlayer]

Looking forward to getting home and updating. I've had both the airplay issue and the popup that I couldn't purchase items that I've already purchased and downloaded.

[chrismarle]

Take note Google, Samsung, HTC, Motorola. This is how software updates are supposed to be deployed.

[MattMJB0188]

I am hoping the toggle for turning off 3G is available on the 4S for AT&T. Still don't know why its not.

[Skika]

I really hope reading list is fixed. Many times i had to delete an entry just to get it to sync.

Btw: I LOVE reading list and use it a lot!

[orangebluedevil]

For all 10 of us wondering, I installed it and can confirm that this update does not restore the option to "Disable 3G" on the AT&T iPhone 4S. Dang it.

[healage]

Can't wait until they allow us to download these updates over 3G... It's not really OTA until they do.

[austinguy23]

Installed like a breeze. Love the wifi update capability. Does seem snappier but that could be my imagination.

[nfl46]

My iPhone is definitely faster and the battery life is much better.

Lol. Sorry, I just had to.

Then no future update will. I wonder if its now gone for 3GS & 4 users. Don't get why we 4S users can't have it but they can???

[SandboxGeneral]

Anyone seeing updates for the Apple TV 2/3 yet?

[bedifferent]

*Also fixes jailbreak - err - PDF exploits

That would require downgrading to the previous aTV iOS (sort of like upgrading to Snow Leopard from Lion)

[myskepticsight]

Glad the 'Unable to purchase' warning has gone from the appstore!

I sure hope so. This bug has been going on for too long.

I'll be able to test it out tonight and report back, unless someone can give it a try earlier.
