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

You must hate using the internet then...

Do you know what a mouseover is? Me too.

Do you know what a fingerover is? Me neither.

No comparison.

You probably download from iTunes which will download the entire thing?

Nope, OTA.



I am a bit curious at the moment. I think the ones that are running the beta update to the GM.
The ones from iOS 7.0.x go to normal 7.1.
At the end it is the same version, just not sure if it is possible to update later from the GM to a newer version.

No, air update is 1.3 GB for iPhone 5 from beta 5... strange.

The phone app changes with the new call screen are not in the logs so I wonder if they reverted it back to the big pictures, I hate the small ones.

That new Siri function with holding down the home button is interesting. I like how it actually says "Improved performance for iPhone 4". Can anyone confirm?

Showing up as a 1.4GB download OTA going from 7.1 beta 5

Same for me, iPhone 5s 64GB / VZ / USA

I see nothing in the notes about Safari and the fix for it crashing, unless the bug was in some other area.

The update for my Air from 7.06 was only 256 mb.

Don't think they generally list particular stability/performance fixes.

The update from 7.0.6 is 212 MB for me (using Verizon iPhone 5).

Interesting, I'm able to go right from beta 5 to 7.1 official on my iPad. Haven't seen that before.

Same with the phone. Normally after the (GM or last beta) there is nothing found as a update.

Lets hope and pray... the small ones are HIDEOUS.

 

[Black.Infinity]

I love updates

 

[Cougarcat]

Most exciting? "Reduce the white point". Thank the gods.

Most intriguing? "Button shapes - indicate clickable areas". Definitely looking forward to seeing just what that means. I HATE touching formless text on a sea of white. Definitely not a UI I would have ever envisioned Apple making . . .

There were screenshots of this earlier. It's really ugly, unfortunately.

The logs are usually not very extensive, so you can't really draw any conclusions from that.

I can confirm that on my 5S which is running beta 5, it shows up OTA as a 1.4GB file. Exactly the same size for my iPad Air, also running beta 5.

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, I figured it would be that way so I downgraded my 5s last week.

 

[elgrecomac]

Obviously you didn't use the previous JB

About time! Sorry, jailbreak, I prefer my stability.

I installed it at release and NEVER had a stability issue.

 

[MisakixMikasa]

I am still in process of waiting iOS 7.1 jailbreak... Main while updating some of my devices to 7.1...just need keep one iPad 3 and iPad mini jailbroken


No willing give up this

And this

 

[Hakiroto]

Gentlemen, it was a pleasure.

See you for 7.1.1

same here for my 5, i didn't see how big it was for my iPad, but probably a ton of improvements where beta 5 was so many times better then 7.0.6

 

[jbachandouris]

They had to wait until I left the house. Grr. I pay for the data. It should be MY choice to download or not!

 

[iamMacPerson]

The update from 7.0.6 is 212 MB for me (using Verizon iPhone 5).

Same here. Verizon iPhone 5 from 7.0.6 too.

You don't want to give up ugly icons because ...

 

[rablat]

It's a damn shame Apple patched the jailbreak. Steve Jobs is gone, why can't they just forget about the BS and let people do what they want with their phones? ******** if you ask me.

You can do whatever you want with the phone now. They just don't want you screwing with their software.

 

[DavidBlack]

Just to inform you guys those who are on iOS 7.1 Beta 5 the update is around 1.2 GB, while those on iOS 7.0.6 the update is around 200MB.

 

[GenesisST]

Probably very very close.

Very likely with that SSL fix
