It seemed to take forever to upload and install. Apple needs to make smaller upgrades that don’t take so long. End of rant.

    This update has important improvements for seamless device switching for AirPods.

    I usually just leave updates on automatic, and I wake up one day with a message on the screen informing me that it happened overnight. Maybe for this one I’ll request it manually to see how it goes.
    Alea jacta est!

    The update itself, if incremental, is actually only about 580 MB. The download for me took less than a minute. A full non-incremental update (from 13.x to 14.x) is currently over 3GB, so download time will be a few minutes, depending on the speed of service/WiFi.

    There are three parts to the update: download, prepare (unboxing, backup etc.), installation.

    During the download and prepare stages, you can continue to use your device as usual.
    The installation phase is when the device turns off and restarts, which took about 10 minutes on two phones and one iPad (the shortest was 9 minutes, the longest was 11 minutes).

    Not sure what would explain longer install times, other than slower processors and slower flash storage from older devices. 🤷‍♂️ Shortage of space would also slow things down, but that’s not usually a factor on more recent devices. It might help in these cases to connect to a Mac or iTunes on Windows for the installation.
