Apple recommends that you start Safari on a Wi-Fi network with your iPhone/iPod Touch after updating, and then charge it while the screen is dark. The database then loads during this time period in order to <em>"save the user data charges"</em> since you are doing it all on Wi-Fi. One minor detail they forgot to include in any instructions.&nbsp;</p>
