    But I can still use my iPhone, is this normal? I would have thought that it would lock it out until it's done? Like I am posting this thread while it's downloadin. It also said it gonna take 4 hours... Holy shit

    Yeah man. That happened 2 updates ago. The whole being able to update and still use your phone.

    You can update wirelessly from your phone also.

    Same with IPads

    Step 1 - Downloading - Creating your own copy of the software on your computer so it can be installed on the phone. This means the software has to be copied across the Internet (from Apple's servers to your computer's hard drive). During the download you can still use the phone.

    Step 2 - Installing the update - This is when the software is copied from your computer's hard drive to the phone's internal flash memory over the USB cable. This part takes about 15 minutes and this is the stage that locks you out of the phone.
