iOS updates should only download when connected to wifi AND an external power source. I would suggest putting your device in Airplane mode while it is charging.
No no. There was live stuff. I was able to watch a bunch of concerts at work. It was in the afternoon here. Just put the iPad up near the monitor, and...
I dont see this as much to talk about, the updates now are so tiny, Im almost wondering if theres a full large team working on iOS 7 and if so what are everyone doing? I´m guessing apple spend 5 people for a month to decide of a slide to unlock should go left or right or if there should be a 1 or 2 pixel bevel on an icon. (oh wait now they don´t even have bevels anymore, I guess some teams have a long nice holiday
How about Siri update for more languages ? That would many appreciate I´m sure. Siri aint done until they support the languages they have in the OS.
You might want to actually look into what's getting addressed in the update to see that the visual changes (despite being the most visible simply by their nature) are just the smaller part of it all.
I thought that external power was also required, but I wasn't sure.
However, putting it in Airplane mode during charging is a problem. The phones won't be able to receive iMessages during that period, cutting them off from family back in the US. SMS messages can still be received, but at a significant cost. I'm considering buying a bundle of them, but international SMS is not reasonably priced on AT&T.
We will also be carrying a battery the size of a pack of cigarettes to recharge the phones during the day, and that's not distinguishable from an external wall charger.
Whooooaaaa....slow down there fella. We don't use terms like 'API' on Macrumors. WAY over people's heads.
Comments like: "software update for a festivus? how dumb11!"....are far more appropriate.
Hmm..strange... I'm running 7.1 B5 on 4 iOS devices [ 5th Gen iPod, iPad Air, iP5S, and iP5 ] and it has been rock solid. I honestly cannot recall the last time Safari or the App Store crashed or the device
Have you tried a re-install ?
On the iPod and iP5S, I did the incremental updates as released from Apple for devs, and clean install of the Beta 5 [ Build: 11D5145e ]on the Air and iP5.
Let us just see if they really release it before the iTunes festival.

Why would you need a keynote for a software update focused on polishing the OS?

I've noticed Siri works better off of my LTE connection than my cable connection. I'm thinking the issue is the software, so maybe 7.1 will surprise us.
I think I'll only subject my iPad to 7.1 at the moment. My old 4S is quite stable on 6.1.3, last thing I need is a rushed update screwing with my iPhone...
If it's March 11, that would be CDT, not CST. We set our clocks forward this Sunday.
sooo... who is this guy John Gruber???
He's a tech writer that's close with Apple and has pretty deep, reliable sources.
Sounds like you missed the conversation about how Android has stagnated for years while Apple is still pushing the innovation envelope with things like iBeacons, 64 bit processors, motion coprocessors, dual flash, state of the art hardware designs, a fingerprint sensor that actually works, swipe to go back (a major UI advance); not to mention, many of these technologies are just laying the groundwork for future conveniences and capabilities.
All the while, KK and N5 brought us....
I hope the crashing stops and they fix the video sorting for TV shows. I hate having to manually fix ever show so it sorts right.
Nonsense (Unless it's changed in 7.1)
Goto to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turn off auto updates, even turn on cellular downloads if u wish (upto 100MB I believe).
Well, I am on time warner and tmobile, but even then the time warner connection isn't that bad.
Since you, apparently, only use iOS because of iMessage and iTunes you think that applies to everyone?
