Apple’s forthcoming iOS 7 update may allow deletion of over-the-air iOS installation files

“If the third beta of iOS 7.1 serves as any proof, Apple is at last allowing users to delete the installation files up for upgrades to the operating system that automatically start downloading when the device is connected to AC power,” Leif Johnson reports for Mac|Life.
