YAY!!! I made it now I get the hello set up screen

 

[HenryDJP]

Don't even think about coming over and snagging my little bit of WI-FI at Starbucks..... I am already getting looks from people for hogging all the bandwidth!

Hope yours takes all night to download...

 

[!GS51!]

Oh wait i see 11A470a is 7.0.1 for iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s.. wow

YAY!

Feels ... snappier!

 

[Ayemerica]

Finally....

 

[Tyler23]

Finished on my daughter's iPod Touch 5! I like it so far... I just can't figure out how in the hell to force-close apps now

In multitasking view, swipe up on the app. You can even swipe three at the same time with three fingers

prolly the worst place you could have chose to download the os at. Not that you probably had any other choice.

I have to put my cell phone in a lock box before heading into my office...was hoping it would have been faster. Ended up leaving and had the download go into a paused state. I'll try again later tonight. Bummer.

mine all done

There is no server that can handle thousands, even perhaps millions, of hits.

Microsoft can handle it because they are pushing it. Which means they can roll it out a bit at a time as needed.

Also Microsoft are specialists in updates since they have to patch dozens of security holes in their products regularly.

Still impresses me that on launch day so many people are trying to grab it the second it arrives. Personally planning to leave it till tonight when it is quieter.

Not impressed once again Apple is having problems. I appreciate the load issues but in the age of Elastic computing you think by iOS7 this would be smoother.

Up and running on the IP5. Boom!

 

[haydn!]

I thought Pages, Keynote and Numbers was supposed to be free as well upon launch...?

They're free with new hardware only.

 

[GregND]

Ugh - reached "preparing update" on my ipad mini and it had an error again. Trying to download once more.

 

[Tyler23]

Oh wait i see 11A470a is 7.0.1 for iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s.. wow

Where are you seeing this? The iPHone 5c and 5s aren't release yet..

 

[Dekimasu]

4S took 70 minutes from starting the download to the iOS7 welcome/setup screen.

 

[thelookingglass]

Just finished downloading and it's not "Preparing update." Took about 10 minutes. Much faster than I thought it'd take judging from all of the posts on here.

 

[nefan65]

verifying update!!! :d

ota....had to restart update once but so far so good....phone has just rest!,

i'm so freaking excited about this.

 

[pk7]

I'm sure there are more than 250,000 people updating right now. I'd say at least close to 2 million.

However, most people probably won't even know its available yet or know what ios7 even is.

Good point, definitely millions.

I "fixed" it

 

[adam044]

and back to the error

Downloading is working OTA. Remaining time started at 4 hours. Now it is has changed to 1 hour remaining at about 25% done

no such thing as elastic computing

even amazon can't provision network bandwidth out of thin air

 

[jread]

Double click home button, swipe up to close apps.

Thanks! That was so stupidly easy that I would have never figured it out

 

[scottwaugh]

As others noted, once I recycled power on my iPhone5, it tells me I've got an update available.

HOWEVER: when I attached it to my iTunes 10.7, it says an iOS update is available but it requires iTunes 11.1 - !!!!

So we're being forced into a version of iTunes that we may not want? What if I don't care about all the new features in 11?

Sigh . . .

That stinks (staying on 10.7 as well). Leaves OTA updates then - course the question is whether iOS 7 will play nice with iTunes 10.x afterwords or not.

Front page

Update: Apple also released iOS 7.0.1 to fix a few bugs with the iPhone 5s and 5c, ahead of their public launch on Friday. That version has a build number of 11A466.
