Is it better to update to the latest version of iOS via iTunes or directly on the Device? Also which is quicker or the smaller download?
I thought that I read somewhere a while ago, that updates on iOS devices were incremental, whereas it was a “full download” via iTunes.
Many thanks.

I would imagine that going from iOS 5 to iOS 6, the "incremental" thing doesn't matter. It is a whole new OS, so I'd imagine it is full size either way.
I don't know if either is better. If you happen to be at your computer and plugged in, then I'd do it via iTunes. You should be plugging in regardless to do a regular sync+backup to iTunes, so why not?
I was able to upgrade my i phone 4s and my computer o iOS6.0 but my i pad still stays at iOS 5.1.1 It will not upgrade
Which iPad do you have? iOS 6 is only for iPad 2 and the 3rd generation iPad.
Thank you Gary. I've done my sync and backup, but didn't think about the fact that it was a full upgrade. I have quite a few devices to upgrade, so was just looking for the least time consuming way.
Was hoping to get the upgrade a bit earlier here in Australia, but we are still waiting.
