Apple iOS 5 to Offer Over The Air iOS Updates

Till now Apple used to push its iOS updates through iTunes. Every time you have to connect your iOS device to your personal computer via USB cable to see if there are any iOS updates available for your device.

Multiple sources (one as far back as March) say the new feature will debut in iOS 5, meaning iOS 5 will not come over-the-air but following point updates to it will. Just like tethering in iOS 3, Apple has the technology but cannot just unleash it everywhere. Apple and Verizon Wireless are said to have been in talks over these wireless software updates since early this year. Sources could not comment on whether or not Apple is negotiating similar deals with AT&T or international iPhone carriers.

In iOS 5, Apple will start to introduce over-the-air software updates service. Precisely, when new iOS update to your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is available, you will get an update notification and then you can update the software right on your iOS device.
