Apple has just released iOS 8 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The latest update is now available over-the-air or via iTunes.

The download comes in as 1.1GB for the iPhone 5s and says at least 5.8GB of free space is required for the install to take place if you’re doing it over the air. Apple’s servers are getting slammed so be prepared to wait.

Update: You’re better off updating in iTunes using ‘Shift + Update’ (on a Mac) as recommended by Mike in the comments.
