It makes sense. It's trying to fix the 3G issues. So how are you going to download OTA if you're having 3G issues?
I am on WiFi. OTA is not needed. anyways, turning off cellular data fixed it.
My phone seems to prefer cellular to wifi and I don't know why.

That is actually relevant this time, shockingly. You'll have to put it on some other threads to be more effective
I hear that a lot with people who upgraded from the 4 to the 5. As a 4S owner, I'm used to crappy battery life. I'm hoping that Apple will make a significant improvement in battery life with the iPhone 5S, maybe enough to make iPhone 5 owners jealous. However, I'm not too optimistic.
There are very few. You're thinking of the "Apple was so good back in the day, before they became evil, stupid, corrupt, and boring" people.

Crappy compared to what? It has almost the same battery compared to the iPhone 4 and 5, but I don't know about the operating power consumption. The iPhone 5 has a bigger screen, so that means some extra usage.
Wait what are you smoking?
I have a 4, 4S, and and 2 5s. (2 are personal, 2 are work)
Just what the doctor ordered.
But wait .... what 3G issues ? I have had patchy 3g issues, but thats normal particularly over VOIP in some areas.
Other areas VOIP has been fine,, no issues what's so ever..
But hey, an update is an update, i always say (It can't get any worse)
(edits: opps.... now i'm in for it)

I put this in the same category as a "zero-day" exploit ..... That is, anything that comes out on the same day...
Apple is loosing to these...... Not realising it... lol..
Its fun to watch....

It's the same exact exploit as before. The app just needed to be updated to recognize 6.1.1.
Yeah... this. The team already reported that 6.1.1 didn't patch the exploit(s), they just needed to update the jailbreak app to work with it.
Somehow I think that apple needs the JB community ideas to improve their lately boring OS I don't see em shuting down the jailbreak bugs in the short term for now
I don't want them to close jailbreak at all.
They have successfully closed insta ll ous so their is no issue with revenue of apps.
They must let jailbreak scene remain alive.I buy iOS stuff mainly for jailbreaked tweaks and high quality of devices.

Apples "clever" way or the highway
Apple kinds of "forces" ya to update over wifi for one major reason.
If you want to keep your apps on your device..
When I was updating my iphone via itunes, it "asked" me first to backup the apps already on the device ... I believe this is something you must do, if you cancel, it won't update..
However, update over wifi directly, or over 3G, and the update will install even if apps are there. This i like.
I can see where Apple is coming from, though... Safegaud your apps as a backup before you do anything. But if the whole idea, is to just transfer them back over anyway, whats the point ? If the update success, you apps may still be there, and if needed just transfer over the odd 1 or 2.
I don't mind this dialog in iTunes, but it should be a question, with an 'option" just to cancel the backup, and still apply the update.
Of course, the user is well aware of what they are doing if they do this. And, yes i am fully aware... that I just want the update.

Your apps will still be there if you update in iTunes. It asks you to backup because that's the smart thing to do. You should do that anyway even before applying an OTA update because something bad can still happen. The only way to backup without iTunes would be iCloud.
Having issues with 3G connectivity, takes forever to connect to 3G on iPhone 5 and sometimes does not even connect.
Save time and upload through the iPhone
If you download through iTunes, you get the complete IOS. If you go through Settings on your iPhone, you get the incremental update, or what's different.
In the past, if the incremental update was buggy, I found that downloading the entire update and installing was more stable, but the recent updates seem to work perfectly, and are MUCH faster and smaller.

It did work on mine
I knew i had to disable passcode but i just forgot. When i was jalbreaking and it was doing it's own thing, it asked me to enter the passcode at some point and that's when i remembered. I thought that was going to screw the process of jailbreaking but it didn't. It all went so smooth.
I know that already. the dialog that comes up which says "Do not backup" is NOT the one i'm referring to.. The one I mean is a different dialog, as when you are "upgrading" from a previous version to a later one.
In this case, there is no way to not backup apps already on the IOS device, but still continue the update anyway.
this is what i was saying.
BTw: trying to find a screenshot of this, knowing i cannot downgrade to prove this, because stupid Apple no longer allows you to downgrade, even from version 6.1.1 to 6.0 or 6.1, "without jailbreaking"
In much the same way as copy protection teaches people how to pirate, Apple is teaching users how to jailbreak with RedSn0w. (despite their EULA)
Thank you Apple
