iOS5

[vvvvvvv]

This morning, the lemmings were complaining about the iOS5 download taking so long because everyone was trying to download it at once.

This afternoon, Twitter has been full of stories like this.

Seems to be becoming more normal with Apple updates recently...

Dude, you seriously have a complex.

Dude, you seriously have a complex.

Just making an observation. Kind of unavoidable since my work involves social media, and I'd say this makes up over half of what I've seen today.

That, and I seem to recall some similar woes with iOS4 and Lion.

A minimum of a complex and maybe even a novel.

The issue has to due with overloaded apple servers and what people think were bricked phones.
What happened:
Download iOS 5
Upgrade software, says verifying with apple and issues a SHSH blob
Upgrade approved, phone reboots, software loads.
After upgrading, again verifies upgrade with apple and if not approved, causes a hang screen. (people think bricked)
BUT
Hold the home + power for 10 seconds, force reboot, and just like magic you have a phone sitting at the restore screen ready to be restored.

And as with every software release, it is recommended to back up and sync apps. A lot of people fail to due so... oops.
Its common technical sense to back any and everything up before a major upgrade.

I had no issues what so ever but my wife's did the above issue and I had it resolved and restored with maybe an extra 5 minutes involved.

Your logic has no place in a Veggie Meat thread concerning Apple.
