@Gruber “canary-in-coal-mine = casual users no longer trust Apple with iOS updates.” if that’s what’s happening. Lots of other explanations.

@DanFrakes@gruber@ShawnKing iOS 7 required 3.3 GB for OTA updates. 8 does need more, but could it make that much difference?

@mcelhearn @gruber @ShawnKing It’s 2GB bigger; people have had a year longer to fill up space, apps are bigger, newer phones=larger photos…

@DanFrakes@gruber@ShawnKing But I think the real problem is that Apple didn't tell people they could update using iTunes. - View other replies

@mcelhearn@gruber@ShawnKing Definitely—the error message should point out the workaround. But that would be bad PR in its own way. -
@DanFrakes@gruber@ShawnKing Why bad PR? It would help solve a problem very quickly.do you mean because it admits that there is a problem? -
@mcelhearn@gruber@ShawnKing Exactly. Apple pushes the idea that you don’t need a computer. Sometimes you do. -
@DanFrakes@gruber@ShawnKing Yes, my iPad mini says that the 8.0 .2 update is 944 MB, and that I needed least 4.9 GB of storage.

@DanFrakes@gruber@ShawnKing I saw some people saying it required 4.7 GB; that is bigger, but not another two gigs. -
@DanFrakes@mcelhearn@gruber@ShawnKing Yup – I’ve been asked how to deal with inadequate space for update by friends. 5GB out of 16GB? Hmm
