ok, this is weird.
My home button on iPhone 4 started to work again after 2 years of not working despite me restoring the phone before. I came to terms with the fact that its hardware issue and therefore have to pay to have it replaced. This update made it work again. I really don't know what to think here. Any ideas?

Aaaaaahhhh. The return of list view (month+daily events) in calendar.
My favorite view. Loving it.

Sticking to 7.0.6 Jailbreak. Too many features I like and my iPhone 5 is stable as is. And noslowanimation app allows you to speed up or slow down animation for snappy app open/close. biteSMS is too cool as well. Also PDAnet is a must for this grandfathered at&t guy;-)
Plus the icleaner pro app is great for cleaning cache and everything seems more snappy. Also can keep rid of foreign languages/dictionaries and ipad size images in all apps that take up space.
Hiddensystem 7 allows you to tweak anything that apple can as in colors/sizes of anything.
And etc, etc.

Each to his own, but I actually quite like the round buttons. I completely understand where you're coming from, though... It was perhaps unnecessary, but it personally doesn't bother me.
Sir Jonathan's obsession with circles continues!
Why do they still insist that you have to be connected to a wifi network to download these updates. It's a freaking mobile FFS. You should be able to use your mobile network. I have 4G with unlimited data and up to 50Mbps download speed. Why should I have to go into a coffee shop with free wifi just to update my iPhone. It's just plain stupid.
So the other Apple freaks at Starbucks can all see you downloading a new iOS update and then they can start downloading too.
On a serious note, I totally agree with you. As long as the user is clearly warned that data charges may apply, I see no reason why an OTA update shouldn't be done over 3G/4G. Though I think there may be the issue of having an unstable connection when downloading.
Please give some details with what you tried. Obviously this is important to many people. I couldn't personally care less what 7.1 does as far as features because web browsing is número uno on my Air.
I have 15 tabs opened, and it hasn't crashed yet after fairly heavy use. Feels faster too !
Yes it refreshes but i've had many tabs open and it doesn't even blink in terms of crashes. Vastly more stable.
Because they have a deal with all of the wireless providers to keep it that way. Besides, can you imagine what would happen to the cell network if a few million people all decided to update their OS at 250MB-1.4GB a pop on the same afternoon?
Understand that but they could at least give us the choice. I've now had to buy a mobile broadband wifi dongle simply to get wifi at home for use with my iPhone because Apple forces apps over a certain size to require wifi to download and/or update. I still think that is plain stupid on a mobile device.
Just linking this here to reply causes my one and only other web page that was open to refresh which is this thread:
http://www.apple.com/iphone-5s/features/
Try harder, it will crash. It did for me every time when I scrolled around and double tapped.
Just give a try to http://nin.com/ - try loading it in two tabs
That site is not a fair test of anything. It's the most ridiculously huge page I've ever seen. 15.4 MB just to load the home page? That's ridiculous. Their web designer should be fired.
A web page shouldn't take 45 seconds to load on a modern PC over broadband.
Turn off Reduce Motion and get over it. Reduce Motion does exactly what the name implies, reduces motion effects throughout the OS. The animations are sped up significantly in 7.1, so that is not an issue, and the parallax effect can be disabled separately when changing wallpaper, so you don't have a battery issue but can still have the animations, which is what the weather effect is.
There you go, problem solved.
