Also, if I have several iDevices that require the exact same OS update, why can’t I DL once & install on ALL of them? SO efficient, re-downloading that 2GB files for 4-5 different pieces of hardware.

Strange. I live on the most southeastern area in the continental US, have very modest internet, yet my apple iOS updates are always trivial since 1.0 forward. Could it be a DNS issue maybe? I use openDNS instead of Comcast. I wonder if Apple use Akamai for iOS CDN? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akamai_Technologies

Fluk3, I have obnoxiously fast internet connection speed. ANY other service runs smooth as silk. But Apple’s update servers (particularly whichever ones run the iOS updates) are notoriously slow.

You must have really cheap internet or something. I have low end Comcast Performance internet 25/5 and iOS updates are really no big deal. Download, install, reboot, done.

Keeping the phone awake is easy, just disable lock screen. Although I never bothered to do so while updating OTA and it wasn’t a problem.

Easy peasy. Not sure why such a 1st world problem rant.

Man did you nail this on the head. I have extremely fast download times, but any updates that come from Apple remind of the days when you only had access to dial up connections. Painful coming from a company that has money and people that could certainly fix this.
