Check in here when you are able to download iOS 6 (OTA/iTunes)

I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread people can use to tell when and where the update drops OTA or iTunes. Apple doesn't appear to have a countdown clock anywhere I can find.

I have my iPad 2, iPhone 4 and 4S in a row, hitting update every hour or so. Last check was 0800. I fully expect it to be this afternoon on the east coast... probably around 1200 or 1300.

As an iPhone 4 owner who isn't going to get the iPhone 5 until initial launch bugs are fixed which happens all the time (Maybe oct-november or even december), I'm pretty stoked for iOS 6 although I know i'm probably going to get the iPhone 5 anyway.

Does anyone know exactly what time will it be released? I know iOS 5 released last year at about 10-11am. I would be pleased if they decided on the same schedule this year once again.

This will help...

If I'm running beta 3 of iOS 6 on my iPad, will I have to go through iTunes only?

From beta 4 to GM it was iTunes only (no OTA).

Try refreshing the OTA update a couple of times, that worked for me, I'm currently downloading.

Do you think it's worth upgrading now or waiting?

 

[southbark]

iOS 6 does not work for original iPad and the IPhone 3GS right

i did mine on the dot last year at 10 am and it took about 30 minutes
as time progresses, it gets worse

 

[nostresshere]

11:53 in central time, downloading now. Started at 15 minutes, went to 5 a minute later and holding at that.

Well, it'll probably get longer throughout the day - may as well beat the rush now.

I guess I'll try and download it as soon as it's available. Still nothing as of this post.

I'm in Dallas too and just checked and nothing OTA yet for me. Not at home so I can't go through iTunes. Hopefully soon though!
