Upgrading to iOS 10 iPhones ... What you need to know

[J. A.]

Thanks very much, SciFan57.

Uh, OTA? Whuzzat??

Over the air/via WiFi, in Settings - General - Software Update on your iPhone.

OTA means Over The Air. Meaning you don't need to plug your phone into a computer to do the update. The capability was introduced with iOS5.

I NEVER use OTA for major updates, such as this one.

Mine went flawless on both iPhone 6 Pluses and my iPhone Air

I'm using OTA most of the time, for major updates also. I never had a problem, until yesterday.

Oh BTW haven't had one touch issue with the 64gb iPhone 6 plus since the update

Interesting. So it COULD be software then? Time will tell whether it helps many of those affected.

I'm sure it's just coincidental but would be nice.

Love the changes in iMessage for iOS 10

I just updated to IOS 10 via iTunes. Mine was unbelievably slow, though. Took about 2 hours all told. Of course, my laptop is old. I'm
Old, too. We're both slow.

Haven't had any problems yet (that I know of).
