8 is as ugly as 7.

Wonder if that will get fixed. . .

Didn't you get the message? I'm sorry, guess my secretary was too busy performing her secretarial duties.... entirely my fault.

We here at Apple have listened to your concerns, and appreciate your feedback. As a valued customer, your satisfaction is very important to us. If you'll drive downtown to your cellular provider, we have a special edition iPhone waiting for you. Give the lady at the counter your name, and she'll give you your new special iPhone S5 "Droid" Edition.
 
Quick question. When they say 8.1.1 increases the stability and performance for the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4s, does it mean these code changes are only applied to the IPSW for the iPad 2 and 4s? Other devices won't get these improvements?
 
Does this by any chance fix the playcount stacking bug? I'm sick of using my ancient iPod touch for music playback.

Privilege escalations are serious business.

You are worried about a privilege escalation bug that requires you to connect your device over USB, then unlock it, then trust the computer, then follow through a series of steps? :)

If Apple cared about security, their priority should be to push iOS 7.1.3 to the ~10% of its customers who still use an iPhone 4. (The only way to kind-of-patch an iPhone 4 right now is to JB it.) In fact, they should have pushed that update before releasing iOS 8, so that all the people who are stranded on iOS 7 for space reasons could have patched the scary exploits in iOS 7.1.2 ASAP.

Edit: Seems the JB is NOT compatible with 8.1.1 beta http://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/2l8coj/ios_811_beta_released_to_developers/clsh308

I've had this problem on my 6 a few times, and it's a strange one. While listening to music the volume is slightly turned down when a notification occurs but with this bug the volume stays at the lower volume. The only fix I've found is playing music on the speaker and then switching back to the headphones. Occurred to me using Apple Earbuds, Skullcandy 50-50s, and Skullcandy Ink'd2

I too can attest to this, the earpiece while on phone seems so low its absurd, not awfully low but it is low...

iOS 7.1 only mentioned speed improvements for the iPhone 4 but i definitely sped up the 4S,5 and iPad 2 and 3.
 
Can anyone confirm if this update brings the option to enable edge network on devices. It seems to have appeared for some, but not for others on the same network and same device model with iOS 8.1. According to members in apple support forums, some apple engineers suggest it is a bug and will be fixed in the next update.
Thank you ✌️
 
7.1 was The reason i didn't feel I needed to upgrade to a 5S my 4S became really fast after that update. Typing text is a real pain now in safari even on an iPhone 6. But since I'm still on an iPad 2 I can't wait for the update and hope it makes the iPad 2 a bit more snappy.
 
Bring on the fixes!!! iOS 8 is still too buggy for my liking, hopefully in a release or two it will be nice and stable
 
I hope this update address the "problem with page...reloaded" Safari crashes.

And further cuts down on the number of error logs generated. 8.1 didn't eliminate all of them.

I've learned to live with Safari tab reloads, and have little hope of them ever going away.

Then, there's this:

I'm just glad that this BETA has, primarily, updates for the iPad 2:

"According to Apple's release notes, iOS 8.1.1 includes bug fixes and increased stability and performance improvements for the iPad 2"

:cool:
