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.

With control panel and notifications included in iOS 7, I'm curious as to what tweaks you're finding useful?
 
I have an idea for a killer app - a battery status indicator that is at least 75% accurate! Us iPhone 5 users are dying to see such innovation!
 
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?
You realize one doesn't relate to the other. People can still get the so called "premium" experience with just 16 GB or even 8 GB of storage--it all depends on what they need the space for, and there are plenty that don't need tons of useless apps or tons of music or tons of videos or tons of pictures, just some of some of them is more than enough for them. Bringing camera or something like that into it, is an apples vs. oranges comparison at best, and even that's a stretch, completely different things.

Most actually have it on their phones by default.

7.1 is buggier than 7.0.
Amazing supporting information that you provide there.
 
The 16gb iPhone 5s is currently £549 in the UK. At todays exchange rate that works out at roughly $923

The 16GB iPhone 5S is £423 plus VAT, which is ~$711. Fairly close to the $649 US retail price before tax. You see the same old crap on here time and time again with people comparing UK prices to US prices but they never take the VAT off.
 
Like every other update. So annoying to have to turn it off every time.
While I turn it off after every update as well, it's quite far from being annoying, let alone "so" annoying. It's just one extremely trivial thing to do after an update that doesn't happen all that often at all. I'm not saying it's great or even good, but it's also not horrible or so annoying.
 
Keyboard seems way more responsive and easier to type correctly on. Maybe autocorrect better? I don't know but I can say that I can type way faster now with correct words instead of having to fix typos as I usually do. Almost seems more like Swiftkey.

On a side note, I lost my 30+ days of "uptime" since it had to reboot to apply this update. :) I guess that means I have not had to reboot since 7.1 was installed. :eek: I usually do once in a while just because.
 
Touch ID worked nearly flawlessly for me from the beginning. Then, as time went on it got progressively worse. I retrained it a couple of times, and it would improve for a few days, or a couple of weeks, then start going down hill again. About 2 1/2 months ago I had the hardware replaced, and it's been perfect since. Even better than the original. In fact, I can even use it fresh out of the shower, and the wrinkles on my fingers don't throw it off much.

I was getting great results before 7.1 (after the hardware replacement).

I ended up taking my 5s back after the last update killed my Touch ID. I think I will wait to see what "improvements" they implement this time around ...
 
What exactly did 7.1 or 7.1.1 give us that 7.0.6 didn't with good battery life? A redesigned dialer? Auto HDR? CarPlay? I'd rather have the other half of my battery back.
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.
 
anyone else have the bug where when you unlock your phone with touchid, or perhaps any unlock method, and the phone opens the music app?
 
Thats great and all, but BT has been re-enabled from updates for years before iBeacons were ever around.
Has it? I don't really recall it happening much until iOS 7 or perhaps some latter iOS 6 updates.
 
I just had to have my usual fight with the fingerprint sensor to get my phone unlocked*. Hopefully that's the last time I'll have to deal with it but I'm not optimistic.

"You're not holding your phone right." :D After pressing the Home button to turn your phone on, you need to not tough the button for about a second before you touch it to read your fingerprint. Implementing that pause has resulted in a 100% read for me. Good luck.

Touch ID started to fail after the update previous to 7.1 was released. Before that, I had no problem with it. Then 7.1 fixed it and now 7.1.1 made it even better.

I don't see the point in returning a device just because of a firmware bug, not that the problem is going to be permanent.
 
Apparently when they say "Touch ID Improvements" they mean "Disabled Touch ID", because none of my stored fingerprints register anymore.
 
Hosed my iPad

OTA update hosed my iPad 3. It went into recovery mode after restarting. Got it plugged into iTunes now doing a restore. Yay.

I suggest not upgrading unless you are near your computer, in case you need to do a restore, too. :mad:
 
Bricked my phone

Am I the first? Sitting in the Apple store at the moment restoring from a backup. First time that ever happened.
 
How many seeds did 7.1 go through. Apple may as well skip the seeding and go straight through to the release - sloppiness all around if there's a fix just days after a major update.

Apple should just stick to hardware and contract out the software BECAUSE it appears the 3 people working on it can't do the job.

That's not really how software releases work. Plus this isn't "just days after".
