Apple Releases iOS 7.1.1 With Touch ID Improvements, Bug Fixes

[KoolAid-Drink]

It's also new for me, I suppose it was a new security measure added in 7.1 - not sure why, but probably to prevent random people from updating your device without your permission?

prompted me for my passcode before downloading, is that new?

What do you mean, framerate?

Is the low framerate for Notification Center and Control Center when the phone is locked fixed?

275.2 MB of 1.42GB - 34 minutes remaining. ...downloading through iTunes

When the phone is locked and you swipe out either Control or Notification Center, the framerate is low making the animation choppy.

Was just about to update the 26MB update file. But it requires at least 1.2GB of free space?

Not one of my family members will do this update or any forseeable future update. They all have too many pictures and SMSs on their devices, and no computers connected to them to which to offload them, and no clear and easy way (for them) to trim that data.

Touch ID was much slower for my girlfriend when she updated to 7.1. Hopefully this returns it to the previous speeds.

My iPhone 5 is stuck in the Apple logo screen... Im worrying now.

Do we have to have a flood of these tired and inane "jokes" in every single iOS/MacOS update thread? C'mon people - you are neither original nor funny.

But it does seem a bit snappier...for whatever that is worth

I haven't started to install the update yet. But I'm already feeling the improvement to the OS!

Haha OMG, Safari is so much snappier.

Touch ID seems snappier!

Anyone know if the Apple TV update fixed the Netflix surround sound problem?

 

[bushido]

theres an security update on the mac too or is that a bit older and just popped up for me

Are you (or they) concerned the update might mangle their photos (and videos)? I’d be more worried about them not having the photos backed up!

Touch ID has gotten super quick. I'd say it's back to pre-iOS 7.1 levels, if not faster.

update went smoothly except it reenabled bluetooth

I have Bluetooth enabled with every iOS update, both iPad and iPhone.

No, he is saying their phones have too much data and not enough free space to do the update.

Alas, another Touch ID improvement I will miss out on. I'm running iOS 7.0.4 still because my iPhone is jailbroken. Though I would love the Touch ID improvements (I use my passcode often), all the jailbreaking tweaks I use are so much more useful.

After the update, it’s not working at all for me ...














... didn’t work before either, I don’t have a 5s

same here. It's kind of annoying to have turn it off after every update.

18MB download here in Chicago. Installed and back up and running in about 10 mins! Super smooth, keyboard does seem more responsive. Doesn't lag as much when switching between emoji and qwerty keyboards

First post for me on macrumors!

Now I must connect my phone to iTunes. I wish Apple was as good as people think they are.

You actually quoted yourself?

Ahh, thanks for the clarification. I guess my comment still stands though, I’d be concerned about those photos. People don’t want to delete them to clear up space (for things like updates), but that means potentially invaluable photos of family and whatnot only exist on the device which is just about as bad (especially since it will eventually run out of space).

That's not surprising. This is part of apples intrusiveness to "improve location services". Did you know every single update of 10.9.x re-enables location services if they are found to be disabled?

Same with iOS. and it re-enables bluetooth too is likely related to it being used to improve location services. It seems apple is really pushing this.

In fact on 10.9 as well, if your machine supports wireless but wireless is disabled, OS X tries to recommend it be turned on despite fact you are hooked up to wired ethernet connection. All in the lame of location services. I think the feature has it's merit but I hate the intrusiveness of updates changing user preference to force feature at us.

He's doing a follow up.

iPhone 5S OTA Update from 7.1 weighing in at 26.1 MB

I thought the Touch ID recognition was just fine.
