OTA Update

[Dino F]

Quick question - do I need my iPhone 4 to be plugged in to a power source to do the OTA update to 5.0.1?

It is recommended to save battery but not required

No, but you have to be on wifi and have 50%+ battery.

No u don't. I had 71% when I started the update. When it was done, I had 69%

50% battery life or plugged into power. Plus you have to be on wifi.

I'm guessing reading comprehension is not a strong suit.

I had it plugged into my wall. Updated within 10 minutes.

Oh wow sometimes I can be a little dumb

You don't need to be plugged in. Takes about 2% of your battery. No big deal. Takes about 10 minutes. Easiest update ever.

Thanks for the laugh blakjack

My update took ~5 minutes. Was way more quick than being plugged in. +EV

Pretty sure blackjacks post is in response to the one directly above his.
As his answer really doesn't pertain to the OP much.
