No longer: iOS 5 is going PC Free. Now, instead of starting up an iOS device and saying to connect to iTunes, you get a Welcome Screen.
And guess what? You know what else you get now? Wireless updates over the air, which Apple is calling Delta Updates.
This is great news for most, but I’m guessing this is going to be a huge fly in the ointment for jailbreakers.
