Mine going now, says it will take 29 min. I'm surprised. iOS was a bitch to get on the day of release.

Apparently I have it downloaded but then a verifying update screen pops up then says update is unavailable at this time. Dumb.

I had a hell of a time freeing up 3gigs of space. Does it take up THAT much or is it just required for the install?

After the install I actually had more free space.

Mine did that too. Took about 5 attempts before it finally went.

It's going to take some getting used to.

Just required. It's not that big.

It took about an hour total, including download and install. And I agree with Ted, it will take some getting used to.

It's a bit laggy on my 4S, but I'm liking it so far.

You now swipe left do delete emails.

And texts.

Not bad. Pointless for my 4s, as I'll be getting 5c Friday. Not bad, though.

just checked my phone and it says my software is up to date with 6.1.3

Is iOS7 being released for the 4?

Same here. 4s for me.

Then on Itunes for my Mac, it's telling me I need to download Itunes 11.0.5 even though I already have it.

What strikes me as funny is there is a $100 bump for jumping in Gigabytes for the new phones. So a 5S turns into a $399 with 2 year contract for a "whopping" 64 GBs.

So are gigabytes expensive again? Or is Apple just pretending it's 2004?

I have a 4, not 4S and it's running fine on mine. Looking forward to buying a 5S on Friday though.

16 is too small for me, 32 would be perfect.

I keep a lot of music on mine, all 320 kbps. Then you factor in your apps...it adds up.

I understand the need for space but when did space become so expensive.. Like I said this isn't 2004.

I had to update iTunes to sync. It wouldn't recognize the need for an update...just got the link from itunes.com for 11.1

But isn't apple trying to force people into "cloud" usage? I know that seems to be the way everyone else is heading

How do you check the usage you've used up so far?

Yes, I am a retard when it comes to phones, technology, etc.
