    Why anyone would perform an iOS upgrade over the air is beyond me. You should ALWAYS perform a full backup of any device before upgrading the OS. The only way to do that on a mobile device is by connecting to a computer and backing up via iTunes. Then performing the OS upgrade while still connected is a no-brainer. Even Apple suggests this as the better process.
    One has nothing to do with the other. I did OTA, and I have a backup. So what?
    OTA has never failed me before, so why should I have expected it to do so now?

    Congrats on your first post.


    Because OTA is riskier. Also, that iCloud backup is not as complete as an iTunes backup.
