Apple is loosing to these...... Not realising it... lol..

Evasion is loosing a new jailbreak. That doesn't mean Apple is losing, because there is no competition going on. Apple is only concerned with security risks. When a jailbreak was released that worked by just visiting a website, that was a security risk; Apple closed it immediately and it didn't work again.

Nope, but the installer won't work. Update for that soon.

Thats great, But there's so much more ti iOS6 than a very dodgy maps and YouTube...
better Mail, FaceTime over Cellular, Panorama photos (which is worth the update alone), iCloud Tabs, Shared Photo Streams... The list go's on. Your missing out on some good stuff.

Well you had to enter it. My point is you can't get someone else's phone, and jailbreak it without knowing the passcode.

I wonder what the performance will be like.

[hmmm]

I'm seeing more issues with iOS 6.1.1 on Vodafone than with iOS 6.1 - anyone else experiencing this?

Not to mention the youtube and google maps separate apps are WAY better that the old non updated built in ones that were part of iOS. But 5.1.1 seems to be less problematic than 6. ( I have no issues with 6.1 or 6.1.1) but there are lots of folks who are with wifi and various other things.

Its highly recommened you upgrade to iOS 6.1.1. The improved performance and improved security in iOS 6.1 is much needed, plus you can download Youtube and Google maps from the App store

My 4S is working a lot better after the update.

[Macrolido]

Passbook now runs snappier!

[braddick]

I would consistently go to bed with a fully charged iPhone4S to wake up to it being 93%. Not a big deal, didn't worry about it.
Updated to 6.1.1 and woke up this morning to a surprisingly 100% charged iPhone (seven hours later).

Awesome news! Glad to hear 6.1.1 perhaps helped. I get up to a 100% battery every morning but then I charge it while I am sleeping Had to throw that out there. I never understand why folks charge,then unplug when they go to bed and start their day on less than full charge. Lots do though so must be a good reason.

Sorry, this is an Article about the IPhone 4S so naturally I had assumed that you were referring to the IPhone 4S rather than the IPhone 5. I do have to admit however that even I went off topic a little while replying to the other guys Sprint IPhone 5 Story.

They very well may close the door when the iOS Beta that was released to ADC Members like me is released, keep in mind that the ADC Build is going to be RENAMED something else when the next ADC Build comes out at least according to what it says on my ADC Beta Build Home Page!

The reason why you have to use WIFI to download OTA is NOT due to the 3G issues at all, it is actually do the fact that there is a 50 MB Download Limit over Cellular Internet in order to keep Apple's Download Servers from being Over Loaded.

Plus after this update I can use Facetime over cellular in my area.

EDIT: Denied. After I toggled it a minute later it changed back and I get the message saying Facetime requires wifi. On at&t btw.

Unlimited data, or tiered?

Personally, after it is charged in the evening I toss it into my work bag so as not to forget it in the early morning.
One less (albeit, small) chore and the few percent I have lost in the past has never been a make it/break it power charge at the end of my day when the iPhone is back in the charger.

Well there you go! knew there was some reason

BTW I did leave mine off charge last night to test 6.1.1 and it dropped exactly like it should according to Apples spec. Went from 96% to 92% in like 10 hrs standby (so a little better actually) as 10 hrs should drop 5%. It did go to 91% after i fired up the display for a min so I would say its dead on. Signal strength seems to hover on 5 bars more too now. It would be anywhere from 3 to 5 typically but seeing more on 4 or 5 alot now.

Except this update was in the 23 MB range. I would think that you would not want to do an OTA over 3G to fix a 3G issue.

In this case, there is no way to not backup apps already on the IOS device, but still continue the update anyway.

this is what i was saying.

BTw: trying to find a screenshot of this, knowing i cannot downgrade to prove this, because stupid Apple no longer allows you to downgrade, even from version 6.1.1 to 6.0 or 6.1, "without jailbreaking"

In much the same way as copy protection teaches people how to pirate, Apple is teaching users how to jailbreak with RedSn0w. (despite their EULA)

Thank you Apple :P

I know what you mean, don't worry.

Other areas VOIP has been fine,, no issues what's so ever..

But hey, an update is an update, i always say (It can't get any worse)

(edits: opps.... now i'm in for it)

For me, sometimes when I leave a 3G area and return my iP5 doesn't know what to do. It just doesn't see the network until I turn airplane mode on and back off.

My Former IPhone 3GS (I used to be an AT&T Subscriber, before I switched to Verizon and then Switched again to Sprint) originally allowed OTA over Cellular during the IOS 5.0 Beta but then blocked OTA over Cellular for the IOS 5.1.1 Update do to the issues they found with installing OTA over Cellular with the 5.0 Beta OTA Logs they collected from us ADC Members and they have blocked it ever since then, Just FYI.

No worries. I was more going off of how apple patched the 4s rather quickly but AT&T users might be getting no help.
