Q: Why does iOS 10 require a 2,31 GB download on iTunes and only 1,1 GB over-the-air for iPhone?
Hello eveyone,
Does anybody know why the download for iOS 10 through iTunes takes a 2,31 GB download while over-the-air only 1,1 GB?
Thank you in advance
iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.5, null

OTA updates are device specific and only include what is needed for the device being updated so as to minimize the amount of free storage an iDevice needs to have in order to update. iTunes always downloads the complete universal iOS installer since the download is saved, uncompressed and run from the computer, not in the iDevice's storage.
