Apple Releases iOS 4.3.1

Been getting server unavailable warnings for nigh on 10 hours now, for both the iPad and iPhone.

I'm wondering now if it's not me, since I don't see anybody else has mentioned it.
 
Hmmmm

Go figure, I did not expect any battery drainage change but so far my battery usage seems much improved w/ the update?? :confused:

:-/ It was me. I forgot that this machine was pointing to Saurik's server instead of Apple.

I'll be looking forward to that. I didn't really have a problem with 4.3, but more battery is always good.
 
They still haven't fixed the folders glitch involving the discolored arrows when opening and closing. It's plagued the iPad since 4.2 and the iPad 2.

Just wanted to report my findings...

With 4.3 I was having significant battery drain while the phone was asleep.

I upgraded to 4.3.1 and deleted the last few apps I downloaded (amazon, contract killer). I also disabled game center and ping.

Last night at 10:05pm I noted my battery life at 72% and went to sleep.

I awoke at 9:42am and found my battery life at 68%. A much better drain than before Seems like things are back to normal and just wanted to report what I did.

Wow ... My wifi is screaming fast and YouTube works on my iPhone 4 - FINALLY!

My wifi speeds have been horrific on my iPhone 4 and the you tube app barely functioned! Not any more!!

I spoke to soon, 4 hours off the charger and 2 very brief calls later I'm at 76%. This was never the case for me prior to 4.3. I'm disappointed.
 
I wished I had tested it before the newest download, but I'm real happy with my iPhone 4's battery life right now. I took it off the charger yesterday afternoon around 1:20 & it's now almost 5:15pm (the next day). That's nearly 28 hours & I'm at 88%.

I haven't really used the phone so it's virtually all in sleep mode. I have 3G going & mail fetched every hour. Everything else is pretty much off.

I'm going to test again soon with more stuff on (like maybe Location Services, Notifications, etc.) & see how much battery life I get. Anyway, it seems like losing just 12% over a 28-hour timespan is pretty good, though.
 
Updating tonight and it is still downloading...10 hours to go...:eek:

I have an internet service of 25 Mbps.

Is everyone downloading it today?

I agree, I really hope iOS 5 introduces wireless incremental updates. I shouldn't have to connect my iPhone to my computer to install a small .x update.

Did you see the post earlier that explained the reason for this. 1.1.1 was an incremental update but because some jailbreakers are patching iOS directly, it can cause the official iOS patches to collide with jailbreak patches causing a device to become bricked.

By restoring the entire OS over the top it can get rid of any unauthorised code that Apple hasn't tested for so the phone works as it was intended on upgrade.

Basically you can blame the jailbreakers for it (I don't jailbreak but at the same time I don't really care if people jailbreak either just I can understand Apple wanting to remove jailbreak code on an update because they didn't code it so they don't know how it'll react)
 
This is by far the best IOS ever, fast .. very fast e very economic also for Iphone 4

So far the best smartphone + the best SO (for smartphone) Ive ever used.
1h,15min of usage + 14h,44min standby in 80% of battery. :D

Not sure if I buy that reasoning. Does Apple care if jailbroken phones can get bricked?

In any case, the OS can tell if it's been jailbroken. Apple could simply disable incremental updates if it detects the jailbreak.

What they'd probably care about is the time that 1/2 a dozen employees spend trying to un-brick a phone before the owner admits that it had been jailbroken, and the price of replacing a recently purchased phone for no good reason.
