Good on iPhone 4

Good so far on my iPhone 4.

Color, contrast, brightness distinctly changed. They are trying to improve readability of small text.
 
Plenty of stability, performance, and security improvements, all worth more than any visual changes or new end-user features, especially given how generally underperforming and less stable the 7.0.x releases have been.

You must have had a very poor experience with iOS 7.0.x. I did not, with either my iPhone 5 or 5S. I think Safari crashed twice on the 5S, but that's about it. The only performance/stability differences I noticed were negative with regards to the battery, and the same for other standard functions. The security, I wish I could have for sure but again, not at the tradeoff of needing more juice throughout the day.

There's obviously something that us with battery issues are doing differently than you, and it was exposed in iOS7.1. Know how I know? Apple sent me one with 7.0.6 and I don't have the same problems anymore with the same exact configuration after a clean install on 7.0.6 vs a clean install on 7.1.0.

Oh, and thanks for quoting my same post twice in 20 minutes :)

AND just when I was getting used to reading yellow and faint grey on a white background - what were Apple thinking when they came up with that?

So how /why did you get another device from Apple? Did you do an exchange of the old one with 7.1 or is this a new/different one with 7.0.6?

My experience has been just fine, but there's been more than enough to document from plenty of people all kinds of stability and performance issues with iOS 7.0.

As for 7.1, as is the case with pretty much every update, there are definitely people with battery issues, that's not even in question. However, there isn't a widespread inherent issue since by far not everyone or even the majority necessary have those issues.

As for quoting posts, pretty sure I quoted two different posts from you, they just happened to be about the same kind of thing since I guess you made two posts saying more or less the same thing.

Same here. WTF?!!
Happens pretty much with any iOS 7 update. Just disable it.
 
Downloading currently at a whopping 100kbs via iTunes. I knew better but clicked update anyway. Mac and AppleTV update were fairly quick but iOS on my iPhone, not so much.

I say I knew better because I had no problems with 7.1 so I should have waited a couple days anyway. Ah well....
 
Are you sure? There's generally a very very faint spinner present for about 10 or so seconds as it is shutting down.

Yes I'm sure, in previous versions of iOS iPhone would take nearly 15 seconds to shutdown (even if all apps were quit) now it takes no more than a few seconds.
 
Shutdown does seem a lot faster. That dim spinning wheel only remains on for a few seconds now.

I found, like in 7.1 the shut down time seemed really fast. However it was only because the loading wheel was so dim it looked like it shut off in a couple seconds.

It takes 21 seconds for me with 7.1.1. Which is identical to 7.1 as shut down changes haven't been addressed at all with 7.1.1, not that I have really had any issue with it. I doubt Apple had a problem either....
 
Can't update because my phone doesn't have enough storage space. Lol thanks Apple for the crap storage amount on your phones…
 
theres an security update on the mac too or is that a bit older and just popped up for me

I got that too and it's saying it will take over an hour to download 79.9mb on a gigabit connection.

I also got this worrisome dialogue when canceling the download

I'm the only user logged in. Any idea why it would say that? Bug?
 
The slide to unlock animation has returned to pre iOS 7, it appears.

The animation speed of zooming in and out of apps has also slowed a few weeks after iOS 7.1 was released and 7.1.1 has not fixed it.

Apple offers phones with more storage space if you need more.
