i finally updated my iphone
a little late, i know, but i finally decided up update my iphone last night. i’ve been hearing all kinds of horror stories of things gone wrong and bricked phones and slow phones, so i was reluctant to commit to v2.0, hoping v2.1 might be lurking right around the corner. then i made the mistake of taking a look at the itunes app store and i found things there that i absolutely had to have.
so, i made the decision to update. here’s a timeline of how it went:
- 17:35 – update downloading and installing
- 17:42 – backing up
- 17:42 – extracting software
- 17:42 – preparing for restore
- 17:43 – preparing software for restore
- 17:49 – restoring iphone software
- 17:52 – verifying iphone software
- 17:53 – verifying iphone restore
- 17:53 – verifying iphone firmware
- 17:56 – restarting
- 17:57 – restoring from backup, waiting for activation
- 17:58 – restarting
- 17:59 – restored & activated
not a single problem. start to finish took 24 minutes and now i’m blogging from my iphone.
