Re: [apple-iphone] Upgrading 5s to 8.1: WAS Updating iPhone 4s

Thanks, Pat. That makes good sense. Do you know what the space requirement is doing it that way? My 32 GB iPad 4 says it needs 5.9 GB to upgrade, with the real space for the software being 1.1 GB.

Using iTunes for the upgrade downloads to your computer so the space required on your iPad is minimized. I usually find it the quickest method in my location.

Just a confirming vote. Upgraded 5s to 8.1 without any problems so far. Runs very well.

Only reason my iPad 4 isn't on iOS 8 is that I still need to clear more space for it. Is there any validity to something I have heard, that upgrading iOS 7 to 8 but using MacBook and iTunes rather than wifi will not cost as much space? Sorry if I've missed that point here before.

[Barry] I have also upgraded my 5s with no problems to 8.1

I know this thread is regarding upgrading the 4s to 8.1 but this poster is saying not to upgrade even the 5 or 5s. I must disagree!!

My wife has a iPhone 5 running iOS 8.1 comfortably it performs like a clock with no problems at all. In fact no reduction in performance at all. And of course my iPhone 5s is doing just as well. So no concern when up grading the 5 or the 5s to iOS 8.1.
