Apple users were anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new operating system and you can download it right now.
You can make the changes directly on your phone or by plugging in to iTunes and updating from there. If the iOS 8 update is not available whenever you plug in to iTunes, make sure that your iTunes software is updated.
To download over the air, make sure you are connected to a WiFi network, go to Settings > General > Software Update and you are ready to go.
But be patient, there are millions of people who will also be trying to update their device. It would also be wise to back up your current data as a safety and security precaution. The last thing you want is to have an updated operating system with zero data on your mobile device.
