[TriLUG] iPhone 6

[Warren Myers via TriLUG]

I've never had issues doing the update on the phone itself, so long as I

I often do it against my laptop instead, but that's just because an extra,
local backup (in addition to the routine iCloud ones) seems like a Good
Idea(tm) to me much of the time :)
