   Guessing the design and layout of these iOS and iPadOS update screens have confused more than one eager upgrader today (almost got me). Apple also released updates to iOS and iPadOS 17.7 alongside of 18. #Apple #iOS18 #iPadOS18

     @WarnerCrocker I prefer ‘update now, so I can catch if something goes wrong.’

     I think the truth is, Apple would rather roll out the upgrades on their schedule, not yours, so as to control traffic jams, make life easier on their servers etc.

     Saying ‘Tonight’ allows them to target the devices when they think you are sleeping, etc, not tooling around with the apps and bandwidth as it happens.

     And that’s great if you live in a fast WiFi cloud, and trust their randomness.

     In case you aren’t ready for change.
