iOS 6 is finally out for public download and you can get in one of two ways. The first is plugging in your iOS device to your computer and checking iTunes for an update.

Either that, you can go into the settings menu on your iPhone or iPad and navigate to General > Software Update. The update shouldn't wipe out your previously stored data but its always good practice to back your device up just in case.

iOS 6 is currently rolling out so it might not be available to everyone right this minute. And since everyone's downloading it right now, you might just experience a lag to it since everyone's hammering Apple's servers now.

Cult of Mac dug up the direct links for each available build of iOS 6. Check it out below:

iPhone 3GS
iPhone 4S
iPad 2 (Wi-Fi)
iPad 2 (2012 Model)
iPad 3 (Wi-Fi)
iPod touch 4G
iPod touch 5G

So how do you download it?

Step One: Make Sure Your iDevice Is Compatible. In order to run iOS 6, you'll need one of the following devices:

iPhone 3GS (limited functionality)
iPhone 4 (limited functionality)
iPhone 4S

Step Two: Upgrade Over the Air or via iTunes

To update your iDevice over the air, follow these steps:

3. Open the Settings app.
4. Tap the General tab.
5. Tap the Software Update tab.
6. Wait for your device to check for updates. When it finds an available update, install it.
7. Wait for the update to download and install. Don't do anything with your phone while it does.

To update your iDevice with iTunes on your computer, follow these steps:

1. Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC and open iTunes (if it doesn't open automatically).
2. Backup your device!
3. iTunes may tell you that an update (iOS 6) is available for your device. If it does, confirm that you want to install it. If not, click on your device in the iTunes sidebar and tap the Check for Updates button. When an update is found, confirm that you want to install it.
4. Wait for the update to download and, when finished, confirm you want to install it. Wait for the update to install.
