Hi Ronni Thanks for that but, not knowing of that option, it would not have occurred to me to use that method. It begs the question why such a warning is not given prior to upgrading.
To paraphrase your "if Apple recommends" then "if Ronni recommends", I will do it.

Connect your device to a computer if updating your device using iTunes. "Update your device wirelessly (available in iOS 5 and later) • Ensure your device is connected to a power source. To avoid potential data costs connect your device to a Wi-Fi network.” <https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623> If Apple recommends you do this to update your devices wirelessly… I do it!
