True, but it could be marketed a bit better: "Update finishing in the background"

People hate updates, it would make them more aware they are happening.

People deserve to know what their digital brains are doing on their behalf.

This is how Android shows it, and I think it is quite good because the phone feels slower while finishing the upgrade.

But unlike this (which is timed in hours) in Android it's done in a minute and then the notification is gone. Maybe Apple should start by doing the update in minutes first.

I find it really bizarre that it takes hours to run whatever background process iOS has after an upgrade, especially because in Android's case this is AFAIK rebuilding the Dalvik bytecode while iOS should use a compiled language (ObjectiveC/Swift).

Does someone knows what is iOS doing at the background?
