iTunes Leaks 'Automatic Download' Over-the-Air Updates in iOS 5

I said that earlier, but someone wasn't happy. I fully expect a new system in place for iOS 5's launch, Which I want to pin point at September 6th or 7th, if not August. Its usually a Two Month and a Week period of Betas before a Golden Master is released, then an announcement, and a two week fan boy out cry (I'm one too), and then in the hands of the consumer. It will likely appear with a new iPhone and iPod Touch.
Actually, they took down the page completely. I have a lot of updates, but it's telling me 'no updates available'. They must have flipped the global switch off to fix it quickly.

Because people forget and on top of that it some times get hung up on some apps when doing that. I know I will get pretty high in the list.
I will say this is a nice feature that took them long enough to copy from Android. You set apps that you know update quite often and you like to keep updated to just do it automatically then there is a notifications in the bar to tell you so and so app was updated. It checks about once a day to see if there is any new updates in the market.

judging by his screen name "cloroxbleach4" I assume he doesn't need it wiped since he scrubs it with bleach lol.
I never navigated away from that screen....so I'm gonna try it now that they took it away.
I pushed the "Download All Free Updates" button...it says accessing itunes store at the top, now it's saying "one or more of these items contains age-restricted material. Click OK to confirm that you are 17 or over. Your content will then begin downloading immediately." So here goes nothin....it's accessing iTunes store again....now it's downloading 200 items...hmm.
I didn't want to do it until Apple said I couldn't.
I've noticed a slip of quality with regards to wording and spelling in Apple releases lately... too bad.
Errors when Steve isn't at Apple, Day-to-Day, Operating The Company.
Shame on Tim Cook for the lack of observation of the Minor Details.
Ok, this is cool, but I am worried that the iOS 5 will be only cloud features update...((((
Just was thinking about Beta versions for iOS4, and I thought I'd bring up SWIPE TO CHANGE APPS.
That isn't cloud based, and could be very useful.
Sounds like a good idea at first... until you realize it's a terrible idea.
Several times I've seen app updates, that for whatever reason, are half baked piles of dung. Two examples that come to mind is Friendly for the iPad and the This American Life app. Both of these apps had some issues with updates, that made the apps unusable for many. Sure, you can resync and get the discarded .ipa file from the trash, but this is a PITA for most.
Perhaps a rollback feature might be advisable?

Wow based off the Update looks like Apple keeps an eye on this site.
This is getting me more hyped up for the 6th!

Getting the discarded IPAs doesn't even solve the problem of having to delete the app and lose all the saved data in order to reinstall it. I'm jailbroken so I can save the Documents and Library folders (or use PKGBackup since that comes with a nifty backup data feature), but I know most people probably aren't. Not to mention that I'd like to be able to download earlier versions of some apps (e.g. the music in 0.03 Seconds 1.0 is better than 1.1), but if you didn't get it when it was still there you're pretty much out of luck.
People are complaining that updates sometimes make an app worse (which I totally agree with), however if the developer pushes another update to fix it, then it's not really an issue. I hope it gives the option to create a list of apps that are allowed to automatically update. If that's the case then I'll only put apps on that list with developers that have proven themselves to be reliable with updates and fixing issues.

Sounds awesome! I hate having to go update my apps which I always do through my phone. They should just update to the newest version always. There should be a box for "wifi only" though where the automatic updates begin when you enter a wifi area.

If Apple's going live with IOS 5 features now by accident in descriptions, that means it is probably fully backwards compatible and will come out on Monday, that some developers have already had it, and they will push it forward from here.
That's how I look at it. iPhone comes out Monday. Besides, Apple I'm sure bought all their A9 chips months ago. So a delay NEVER MADE SENSE. And to release a late iphone without 4G doesn't make much sense, even if 4G isn't all its hyped up to be, because it will be a key spec going against a phone that's over a year old. I do not think it'll encourage ANYONE to switch to Apple.
If IOS 5 is being released momentarily (and I suspect it is in June), then iPhone 5 is out in June. And why on earth would Apple delay this product anyway? I can't make any sense out of it, and Apple's earnings guidance suggests a major product launch this quarter, and Macs won't be the driver since they've already been released and I don't see what makes a SB Macbook Air going to sell THAT much better than the current one.
iPhone announced Monday, out this month, period.
