What time does 8.1 drop tomorrow, any guesses?

[Toltepeceno]

Funny, for me the update is huge through itunes but 86mb ota.

"Preparing update".

The suspense is killing me.

Sitting in a McDonalds waiting to try it out

Question. How many with large updates are doing it though itunes and how many small ota?

 

[iolinux333]

I'm gonna guess 9:58 PDT.

iTunes updates download the full iOS ipsw. Software Updates directly from the phone are delta updates, only downloading the changes between the software versions.

Wondering if maybe a pre-load was pushed to some of our phones last night?

iTunes downloads the entire IPSW (same file used for a full restore) while OTA only downloads the delta or just the changes since the last time you updated.

6 plus AT&T
2.2gb from 8.1b2
Maybe they are trolling me for getting a 16gb phone.

No, that's now how it works.

If you're updating OTA and you have a large file (larger than 130MB), then you were running the beta.

Otherwise OTA updates are delta updates, therefore a smaller file size. If you update through iTunes, it downloads the full iOS IPSW file, which is much larger.

OK, the 8.01 update was not a full iso though, just a small update through itunes.

OK, thanks. I did 8.01 through itunes though and it was only 22 or something like that and not the whole iso.

Apple Pay is soooo cool! Just tried it at Chevron, though I did notice if you choose to use a debit purchase and enter your pin, it will decline so I can only make a payment as credit. Maybe it needs my iPhone pin? I know google wallet needs you to use your wallet pin on the POS terminal if you choose debit.
