The day where you do not connect iPad, iPhone or your iPod to your computer to update its operating system might be at hand. There is a report that iOS 5 will be able to live updates. According to multiple sources of 9to5 Mac, Apple has negotiated with Verizon Wireless to provide live updates, but sources would not comment on whether the same negotiations take place with AT & T.
IOS updates be delivered online, Apple will have to make fundamental changes in the way of working of its updates. On the one hand, Apple will have to stop requiring a download of any operating system for a simple update.
My take: Today, I've updated my iPhone to iOS 4.3.3 (fixing of this problem that caused such outcry recently from tracking) and as he always does, the phone data was saved on my laptop, and then all iOS 4.3.3 has been downloadedall 662.3 MB of it. That will not be easy to do on the air, especially if you use 3 G or 4 G.

Perhaps Apple will leave these updates take place only on the Wi - Fi connections, as it does for some great app downloads. Even if this is the case, for the sake of efficiency, it would be a good idea to send incremental updates, similar to the way in which Microsoft has been updating its operating systems for years, in small pieces as they become available.
This would be a capacity both expected and welcome - a feature which is commonplace in the Android operating system. Then how long is the wait? Of course, Apple was not saying, but general consensus is that iOS 5 will launch when the iPhone 5 vessels, and now the latest iPhone rumor is that happens in June or July, that many had hoped. Another recent report, said that the next iPhone might be shipping in September.
