5. iTunes will inform you that there is an available iOS version for update, and you should click on the “Download and Update” button.
6. Leave it for a while (depending on your internet connection) to download and Install iOS 7.1.1 version and then your iDevice will reboot.

Install iOS 7.1.1 version OTA:

1. You need to make sure that you have a steady WiFi connection, 50% or more battery to your iDevice (or keep it plugged in to get charged) and at least 1,5 Gb free storage space.
2. Go to “Settings“, then on “General” and tap on “Software Update“.

I personally use the iTunes method, because it never gave me any trouble. On the other hand, the OTA method gave me some issues, and I had to re-do the whole process from scratch. Generally, both methods are trustworthy, so you can choose freely whichever you want!
