Talk:Software Update Service

This is from the old iPhone Dev Wiki, but is not cached or saved anywhere else. I saw how in-depth it got and at the time I was thinking that it would get removed. I was right. Luckily, I saved it, and I have been holding on to it for when the time was right. Now that we have this open wiki, the time is right. This article details the old software updates, usually less than 10mb in size, that Apple used to update firmwares. They worked much better, and were based on good old .patch files. Please do not delete this preamble. And without further ado, here is the article.

PS: I have slightly editted it because of formatting reasons, as well as made it look neater.

I'm not sure why people treat knowledge written by devteam members as the lost ark. The people who wrote this stuff are all still alive and most are still active in the community. If you wanted to know about this, you could've just asked Zf :P Also, this service has been gone from the phone for ages now, so maybe we want to mention that on the main article? --pumpkin
