Hmm... interesting

 

[dsiiist]

Would be odd for a today release......

 

[gpc17]

True dat. Probably monday release ...

 

[dsiiist]

This is making me wonder if this: "You win some, you lose some. (I still think iOS 7.1 is imminent, but was wrong that the new Festival app would require it.)" is true hmm.......... THERE IS STILL HOPE

If you want to keep this thread open and for it not to be closed by a mod, keep on topic please and stop talking about nominating posts!

Ok, if the developing and releasing speed go like this, I expect this thread to have a Part Trois.

Perhaps there's an explanation related to the change to daylight saving time happening this weekend (in the US at least): iOS often had some timing/alarm type of issues associated with time or year changes, so perhaps Apple
didn't want to release it before the time change to make sure there are no issues with that?

That's actually possible. A Monday release is looking more and more likely now.

We've been saying that going on 2 weeks now.

I know, but the IKEA app update is another sign that the release is close now. Lol

It's probably just a typo... why would IKEA know when Apple will release iOS 7.1
Also their last version was 4.2.1 and today's release is version 14.30 ???

Edit: Or their developers just used beta 5 to test the new version and that's it.

Can't understand why they can't fix it. This issue persists from iOS 5...
Even android, symbian and WP doesnt have this issue

There has been a lot of off topic discussions and inappropriate discussion of MacRumors moderation in this thread. Stay on topic regarding iOS 7.1 discussion.

Everything we have seen so far indicates a release soon. I would say next week looks good. Probably Monday or Wednesday.

IKEAA has a mobile application, they probably have been developing it through the 7.1 betas...it is probably ready for 7.1, whenever it comes out. The fact they are putting that in the app notes now is an indication they their developers at least feel iOS 7.1 is coming soon.

Patiently waiting

 

[jonnyb098]

Here's to hoping it gets released sometime before iOS 8.

 

[Tmelon]

Then it would stay on that.

You've clearly never used 7.1 then.

 

[rmadera]

I downgraded to 7.0.6 recently because of the SSL fix, but I'm seriously contemplating going back to 7.1 beta 5. This is just really bad. Crashes left and right, and everything feels slower. Beta 5 was much much better, and it felt like an official release, while 7.0.6, the actual "official" version, feels much more like a beta.

 

[sracer]

So we all know that iOS 7.1 is coming but when it does finally come don't you think a lot of customers will still be asking why did it take so long to fix all the issues or will the update be so great that people will just forget that it took so long for a fix and soon forget all the trouble they had prior to 7.1

Both. There'll be the complaints about the delay. Hopefully the release will be a major improvement in performance and stability over 7.0.6. And if it is, the frustrations of dealing with 7.0.x will be a faint memory... for most. But for some (myself included), it is yet another reason for being more careful when considering the next Apple purchase.

Lol, IKEA doesn't know anything.

I agree, hell if we all got it wrong with the iTunes festival, I seriously doubt IKEA will have confirmed it's arrival next week. I know at least a clock is always right twice everyday so eventually someone will claim they were right.
