Apple Releases iOS 7.1 With CarPlay, Touch ID Improvements, Visual Tweaks

Just installed this on my 4S and iPad mini. One word. Wow! This thing is fast!

I doubt it. Given that you also can't add songs to a playlist, I suspect your phone settings and/or databases may be corrupted. Might want to backup and reinstall.

I can add them from a play list. I can't as the poster asked play a song and during add to a play list. There is no add to play list button. Such a simple thing to do. Something that would come up when playing music and using the device. If they actually used it ;)
 
Feels smoother on iPhone 4...

Notable laggy areas before were -

Homescreen - no slight stutter when scrolling through like before
Settings - no lag scrolling up and down
Settings>iCloud - this was the laggiest menu of them all, seems fine now
 
So did this update also improved the stability of iPad Air? No more crashing?

I did noticed that it's faster responses when opening apps.

Anyone?

They didn't update the green in Numbers...having it next to the FaceTime icon makes the contrast VERY annoying. Also the new shift button color scheme is idiotic, it's not intuitive at all.

I just noticed that. The shift already looks engaged, but then, its not. This update made everything worse!

i:confused:S 7.1?!

I tapped EDIT when viewing a playlist, then + at top right.

That's not what were talking about though. Your listening to a song. You think I like this I'd enjoy it in my play list. Hit the add to play list button. Oh there isn't one. Dum move.

No issues here. Have you tired a restart?

It's faster and smoother on my kid's iPad 2 also.
 
Is it just me, or is notification center font size bigger? I know you can adjust text size int Settings->General->Text Size but I swear the notification center and lock screen ignore this setting. Probably nothing new but really does seem NC is larger than before.
 
Funny, they brought back the old Month view (thank God), and the site says "See Calendar events better than ever"

By "better than ever" they mean "like in iOS 6."

iOS has never been particularly good at preview windows, they often display old pages or are blank. That awkward moment when someone goes on your iPad and finds out how weird your fetishes are.

The first one I can't reproduce.

When I connected my phone via USB to iTunes, it asked that I need to 'Trust this computer', even though I've been using this desktop to sync ever since I've owned my iPhone.

Anyone else being asked to re-trust their computer?

Yes, mine did this too.

Yeah, I hate it when that happens. I was also hoping that they'd have fixed the status bar bug where:
opening an application, activating the multitask screen, closing the currently opened app

would make the status bar appear at the top of the multitask screen. Annoys the hell out of me. :mad:
 
I noticed that the sound level seems louder, playing music is really loud and clearer, almost don't need my bluetooth speaker.

I like that my control panel is now a darker/charcoal color.
 
I'm a little confused...

Ran Geekbench 3 before the update (all apps closed, just restarted). I ran the update to 7.1, then ran Geekbench 3 again. I'm worse off than I was before the update....

I turn it off. For some reason it really jars my neural system. I prefer a soft fade. My guess it will look ok as a 3D hologram coming up out of a table.

I also prefer the soft fade and now it's even faster. I tried the zooming icons and I still hate it just doesn't act like iOS6, I prefer the soft fade.
 
I had 70% battery life at 2:30 when i did the update, and now my phone powered off due to low battery.

Overall I really like this update, so far everything works on my iPhone 5.

will charge it up and continue testing stuff.

It's interesting that they are providing OTA updates for betas to begin with, as that hasn't been done before. Perhaps due to the fact that they are providing an update from a beta they are providing the full version to essentially overwrite the whole thing rather than upgrade from something buggy in a beta.

Yeah seems so. 1.22gb on a 4s and iTunes was 1.22gb as well (did another phone on 7.0.6 via iTunes.) Mine OTA from beta 5.

Soon most things from iOS 6 (and before) will be back as "new" and "better" features in new updates. ;)
