The pic is a bit small, can you make it any larger?

Effortless update. Good one Apple! Beats the crap out of the old way.

 

[theBigD23]

I'm on Beta 2 and the update doesn't show up for me.

battery

The update doesnt appear to have fixed the 'Setting Time Zone' problem.
Always using GPS still!

easy as pie here in Canada. stinkin fast too (only 5mbps internet). Just waiting for iPad to restart now.

 

[Shanpdx]

iPad too?

hmmm ...

 

[GenesisST]

38.9MB for my 3GS

did the update OTA on both my iPad 2 and iPhone 4. Completed in less then 8 minutes each on the same wireless network. Killed 6% of battery life on my iPhone while downloading and install and 2% on my iPad. I will calibrate both of my batteries and see if there is any improvement in the already decent battery life i was receiving!!

Yep, definitely available in Canada.

Never did have any of the battery life issues, tho... lasted many many times longer than my previous iPhone (admittedly, that battery had far, far too many cycles on it) and no issues with location services.

Still, glad to see it's available to potentially make a lot of you folks a bit happier. Fixing the security breach isn't a bad thing, either.

Just got my 5.0.1 OTA. 55.5 MB for 4S on AT$T.

Man, 17 min to download 55 MB on WiFi.

If you are on a 5.0.1 beta release, does the ota update work?

 

[b-rad g]

Dowlading OTA now in South Cackalacky!

 

[sjc83]

all done worked great.

 

[PDXoPDX]

OTA update installed without a hitch. Awesome!

Ota

Just showed up as an OTA. ATT iPhone in Texas.

 

[adamlbiscuit]

Since doing the update (OTA) my iPhone is now in recovery mode and can't get out of it.

 

[adztaylor]

OTA update worked perfectly for my iPhone 4 and iPad 1. Great to have multitouch gestures back for the iPad

Got the OTA here in Los Angeles.

Some of us know that Apple could have done this over 3G as well (like they did in the beta) but are choosing (for no apparent reason) not to allow it.

And yet you're still getting OTA updates. You just have to connect to one of the 10,000 wifi networks around most people at a given time.

You people literally astonish me.

 

[whitehill76]

????

Anyone else noticing the location services indicator is on permanently - the time zone setting is using it.

iPad 2: 39.4MB
iPhone 4S: 55.5MB

Updating them now .

Updated my iPhone and iPad via OTA! No problems

Searching or No Service

I just updated to iOS 5.0.1 and now I either have no service or it's searching .
I live in The Netherlands and I am on the T-Mobile network through Simpel.

Is this common to updates (first iPhone (4S) I received two days ago) or is there something going on

Oh and I do NOT want any suggestions towards jailbreaking.

 

[sirgumshoe]

OTA not so OTA

How can these updates be truly OTA when you have to be connected to Wi-Fi to update? I have unlimited data from AT&T so it frustrates me that I have to wait to get home to use my WiFi network.

Perhaps a setting on allowing data access regardless of filesize would be applicable for Apple to implement.

Beta only update to beta software. You need normal iOS5.0
