Apple Releases iOS 7.1.1 With Touch ID Improvements, Bug Fixes

[NT1440]

agreed but most people who already have the app running with bluetooth off won't get to utilize the iBeacon function.

Thats great and all, but BT has been re-enabled from updates for years before iBeacons were ever around.

Unless you live in Cambodia, who pays 1K for a 16GB iPhone?

People in Europe. I may have exaggerated a bit though, it actually costs only $966.

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

If you're question hasn't already been answered, yes it fixed mine.

My ip5 just auto restarted after installing 7.1.1 through ota and now its at the recovery screen.. wtf?!

I hope they introduced a bug so you can jailbreak it!

 

[iTom17]

Which device do you use?

I have the same question.

I was wondering that too... Really hate the slow animation. And it only happens when opening Notification Center or Control Center. Other animations are working well. Finding this strange.

Btw, I have an iPhone 4S. Not the most recent phone, but overall it's very smooth. So that can't be the problem.

I feel like this happens after every update? Why does Apple insist on shoving bluetooth down people's throats?

I've never felt that turning on the bluetooth after an OS install has never made me feel like they are shoving it down my throats!

It's quite possible they're turning on the WiFi and cellular too, but if you already have it on, you wouldn't notice. I'd rather have them turn something on than find out (days later) that it turned my cellular off.

Did Apple finally fix the issue for Netflix Dolby Surround on Apple TV? How about HBO Go for Charter Communications?

Don't know about HBO, but it did fix Netflix Dolby Surround.

::Wow::
I wasn't aware.
Dang, that's expensive.

For that kind of expense I'd hope it was delivered to me by an attractive lingerie model accompanied by a 20 minute upper back/ neck massage.

:/

Not Apple's fault you didn't buy a 32/64/128.

I buy a premium phone and it comes with crappy storage. That's just bad customer service.

 

[Zmmyt]

had to restart my Airport Express after the update in order to have it working with my phone...possibly a sign of things to come.

Why do you need 1.2GB free to install it. Retarded.

Time I started downloading the *.ipsw: 18:50
Current time: 20:43
Time remaining to get rid off all the sync errors: ???



Edit: now it's downloading 7.1.1 again even though I already have it on my phone. Arrrrrrrrrgh.

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

What do you mean by "back pre-iOS 7.1 levels" ? As far I can remember - Touch ID in 7.0 was slow and unreliable.

this is not what you'd call "customer service", rather a "mediocre offer".

EDIT: great customer service comes with the "overpriced" 16GB.

How is it bad customer service when you could have bought a model with a higher capacity and chose not to?

You chose the phone that came with the lowest amount of storage. Apple did not force you. Customer service does not enter into the equation.

'In-App Purchase' is now displayed in small writing under the price of an app in the App Store.

 

[mcdj]

Although I agree with you, its a joke that they even offer 16GB.

16gb is plenty for grandmas and toddlers.

Who says anything about forcing?

I'm just saying offering a premium phone with a premium price tag with mediocre storage is bad.

Why not change the camera to 2 MP with no AF and charge $100 extra for flash, $100 extra for video and another $100 extra for 8 MP?

 

[Merkie]

16gb is plenty for grandmas and toddlers.

The Moto G is fine for grandmas and toddlers too and only costs about $200.

 

[GalvaJ]

That's true, but charging $1000 for a 16GB phone is beyond ridiculous.

Which Apple device with 16gb of storage costs $1000?

 

[TC03]

Cause they simply shouldn't ship a product that's mediocre at a premium price level. I paid $900, that's more than twice the price of the competition. At that price, you should get decent storage. Period.
