wise move.

their servers will undoubtedly be overloaded.

they really fucked up with ios 2 or 3 (not sure which), when they
released the new iphone at the same time as releasing the new ios
version, and that completely overwhelmed their servers, so much so that
new iphones could not be activated because the servers weren't
responding. it's quite a bit worse when you have a customer in the
store and can't activate their phone.

now they stagger the release, with ios coming out a few days before the
phones do (plus they have upgraded their servers too). that spreads the
load, at least a little bit. 

nevertheless, there still might be activation issues on friday.

either way, and also usb via itunes.

slightly less free space than before.

it is designed to drain your battery *less*, not more. 

however, there may be bugs where it doesn't work properly.

it can be.
