I did the two updates last night.

After the install you will need to check your settings carefully. There were a number of settings that were reset to Apple defaults that I needed to put back to my preferences.

Lots of changes, but I'll wait for my 2 new iPhone 6 Plus phones to arrive tomorrow before I get serious about learning everything.

I downloaded it onto my iPad Air and now TOTV is all messed up on it. I can only read it on my 4s iPhone that I haven't downloaded to it yet. Anyone have any ideas as to how I can correct the issue with TOTV on my IPad? Everything else seems to work fine including USA news.

Lots of bugs....I wait 1-2 weeks for all the updates to get fixed then download. I heard 5s has had issues already.

I don't have enough room on my I5, so I'm not going to install it. Next Spring we're getting new phones, so we'll have the new OS then.

I didn't have enough space either at first. It only needs all that space for the install process. I just deleted a few pics and videos I didn't care about along with a couple of apps and went ahead with the install. Then reinstalled the apps and I'm good to go, still with plenty of space to spare.

If trying to update "over the air" and there is not enough space then you can plug your device into your computer and open iTunes, go to the "summary tab" of your device then you can install the latest software release.

Usually once iTunes recognizes your device it prompts that there is an upgrade.

Upgrading this way does not require very much free space on the device and consequently nothing needs to be deleted.

Also always backup first.

I have checked and rechecked my usage and other than a couple of small apps and a few pictures there is nothing else I can delete to come up with over 4 gigs to install 8. I planned on waiting for a bit until the dust cleared but at this point I won't be able to get the update. This is a 5. Any ideas wht else I can do?

Hmm...have you actually looked at the Usage listing that shows the amount of space used for your photos, videos and apps? When I did, my photos/videos was over 5 GB with quite a bit of junk. That was by fair my biggest space recovery. So along with that, and deleting a few of my larger apps that I then reinstalled after iOS upgrade, it wasn't much of a problem. (My phone is a 5 also.)

Good luck.

I just installed it on my Iphone 5s yesterday and so far I'm impressed. It has a lot of nice new features and doesn't seem to be causing me any issues at this point.

I put it on my iPhone 5 and my wife's iPhone 4s and it worked fine. I needed to do that to prepare for the conversion.

It came on our new iPhone 6 Pluses. The conversions went well, but iTunes would not move some apps.

I have found a few apps (mostly old games) that don't work.

I put it on my iPhone 5s and my iPad.

One of my favorite old games 'Phase 10" works but has some issues. The pictures of the players are so small I almost need a magnifying glass to see them. Luckily, i can see the colors of their clothes!

Also, the apps that I have put in folders are a lot harder to see.

But it looks like everything else is working.
