How long does it take for an iPhone/iPod touch app to update?

In the apple store on my iPhone, there was 8 apps I needed to update so I tapped "update all" and some of them have updated half way and some haven't even started yet. And it's been about 45 minutes! Do you think the apps will update soon? I'm worried because I don't want to have to delete an app and get it all over again if it doesn't update. I've got some really important stuff on some of those apps!

Just give it time. If anything reboot your device and that should fix any problems with the update.

Be patient it can take some time especially at busy times on the net, and depends on the size of the app some apps can be up to 400MB so will take some 10 to 15 mins if you have several apps to update the time can be considerable.

  • Why does the iPhone 4s take so long to update to 7.0.6? I decided to update an iPhone 4s that I just bought the other day to 7.0.6 and it says its going to take 4 hours to update. Is this normal? I've never had an iPhone before so I'm not sure.
  • Should I buy an ipod touch 5th gen.or buy an iphone 5 and use it as an ipod? I was wondering what would be better to have an ipod or to have an iphone 5 and use it as an ipod, but is it worth spending more money for the iphone 5 to use as an ipod. I currently have an ipod touch 4g, o and by the way i would like either the ipod 5g in 64gb or the iphone 5 in 64gb.
  • How long does it take an iPhone to recharge after it had been dead a long time? My cousin just gave me her old iPhone 5. It's in good condition but it's been sitting in her drawer for months. I don't know how many months but a pretty long while. Anyways, i out it on the charger and it hasn't moved from the red. It's been on maybe… At least a half hour. Is it okay? I don't know anything about these machines lol.
  • IPhone 5 vs iPod Touch 5 (latest iPod touch)? Which is more worth it? I had the iPod touch 4 and I really loved it! But I sold it a few months ago to save up for an iPhone but now that the iPhone 5 is here and there's a new iPod touch, I'm confused. Which one should I get? For the android fans out there, don't recommend me to buy android, I'm sick of it.
