The "I Got iOS 7 Software Update" Thread

Except as it was shown the major updates didn't actually come out at that time perhaps aside from one that was a little after 10.
Internally, Apple is a few months ahead software wise. They were on the GM at least 1 month before it was seeded to developers.
Which means they've had the public release version for quite some time (and the fact that they are already onto 7.0.1, 7.0.2 and 7.1).
As many threads discussing that have pointed out, GM is the releases version so there isn't anything to update to (unless there was some unlikely last minute fix of some sort, in which case it will likely be released as 7.0.1 and you'll be able to update to it).
I'll be waiting until I get my 5s, my 4 is too laggy as it is with 6.1.3.. Would rather have my first impressions with a new phone and the full experience.
Me too - I'll update my iPad mini, but will likely not worry about my 4S. 5S is only a day and a half away anyways!
I was under the impression that the GM is iOS7... so if you have the GM installed there won't be an update until 7.0.1 or whatever, and that would be OTA.
My experience says it doesn't really matter though OTA over cell is slow for the initial download. After that, it's just the phone doing all the work.
I don't know that it matters very much. Unless you're convinced iTunes will download it faster.

Or you could install it on you iPhone 4 and have a few very laggy and crap days, they when you get the 5S the difference will be astonishing and you will feel even more happy?
I wonder how well will the ios 7 native mail app will work with my godaddy POP mail account? If it doesn't work, I would have to upgrade it to IMAP at about $80 a year in order for it to work. The POP mail keeps failing at sending mail via my ip4 and even 3rd party mail app Sparrow which is real nice.
I know the problem is godaddy and not the phone itself but no matter how many times I added POP and STMP out ports, none of the outgoing ports work.
Maybe ios 7 may fix that??

Does anyone know if I download the update in itunes if I'll be able to use that same file on mulitple devices? I'm on satellite internet and have a monthly data limit.
The GM is the official release, so you won't need to do anything.
You will be able to update to future release OTA though.
