You should probably download via iTunes if you don't have 5.6GB free

So regardless of doing OTA or via iTunes, you still need that much free space on your iPhone?

If you do via iTunes, it should use the computers harddrive to do the install from, not your device.

ie: let's say last update size was 100mb and I had 150mb free space on my phone, it would say it requires something like 300mb free space for the update..
. Ok, well I just removed a bunch of songs to free the space up, then let the update occur, then added all those songs back. No idea why that happens. And I always do updates from my computer/itunes.

It would be a real shame if all the security crap that my employer installed on this phone broke.

All done. It's, it's, magical.
Ok, the thing that predicts the next word for text messages really is cool.

im not sure i like the 3rd party keyboards.
i have to switch back to the default english keyboard to turn on dictation.
and i gotta cycle thru the keyboards to get to my emoji keyboard now.
hopefully it will be better with 6+ since the screen is bigger.

They fixed one of my biggest pet peeves about iOS. The photos now tell you what time and date they were taken. Super pumped about that.

iOS 8's Healthkit catches a nasty cold ... Apple kills new fitness apps ? The Register
Updated Software using the super-hyped HealthKit API in iOS 8.0 has been pulled by Apple from the App Store due to a bug in the technology.
Healthkit, new in iOS 8.0, is designed to allow applications to share and analyze information about a user's exercise routine, heart rate, weight, and so on, now that gadgets nagging about fitness are all the rage. The software interface is crucial for Apple as it ties in with the upcoming Apple Watch that has sensors for measuring one's wellness so one can boast about it on Twitter.
App developers were invited to build and release software to take advantage of the new API in time for the iOS 8.0 launch – indeed, Apple pushed its latest mobile operating system to compatible iPhones, iPods and iPads today.
However, obtaining apps that rely on the new mega-touted HealthKit API is proving to be another story: Apple has confirmed it has, in a face-saving move, pulled Healthkit apps from its store as the API is not ready for primetime.
Brian Mueller, who develops the Carrot fitness app, complained earlier today that the Cupertino giant is holding back HealthKit apps due to unfixed glitches. And Apple's bug may not be fixed when the company puts its new iOS 8-powered iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus handsets on the shelves on September 19.
