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

Ui

I've noticed the UI seems way more responsive and fluid than 7.0 did. I wonder why they couldn't have this kind of speed in the original release. I Sakai like the small graphical changes here and there. Anyone else finding the white up arrow for shift a little confusing? It makes me think shift is on. Maybe I just need to get used to it. Now that I've noticed the speed and graphical improvements, I'm anxious to see if it still crashes and randomly reboots. My impression was that 7 had bad memory management and caused crashes probably from ram getting used up. I wonder if they addressed memory management or whatever caused crashes and reboots...

Someone posted in this thread, less than 2 hours of 7.1 going live, that battery life had took a hit. Point being, lots of knee jerk ill informed opinions flying everywhere.

Indeed, I don't trust anyone that starts talking about battery life until at least one day has passed after release, as even then that's early to judge, as people will be playing around with their devices a whole lot more testing things out

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

how do you compare with ios6?

Just buy a podcast app like Downcast (my preference) or Instacast. They're a million times better and feature rich than podcast support ever was or ever will be going the default route. I jumped ship to 3rd part when Apple ruined podcasts in iOS5 (the skeuomorphic monstrosity). They did me a favour, the 3rd party options are soooo much better in every way.

I'm so very sick of this suggestion. Until there's a third party app that will fully update the played status in iTunes, this is worthless. I do about half of my listening on an older Nano, so I need iTunes updating. Apple hasn't managed to break the Nano player, so it's amazing that people are just fine that they've done such an ABYSMAL job with the iOS app!!

My 2¢: - I'm thrilled that list view has returned to Calendar.

- The "button" feature is odd. It makes it slightly easier to see what to click on, but isn't visually pleasing.

- I miss the zoom animations when closing apps. I found it did help focus me on the next screen. The gentle fade is confusing.

The button and other accessibility features aren't really there to make things look better, just primarily more usable for various people that might have some usability issues with the regular OS.

For zoom animations, disable the reduce motion setting and you'll have them.
 
Been thru all the betas.... Now on final 7.1 and my touchID on my 5s now takes about 2 seconds to unlock my phone. Was lightning quick on b5.
 
Has something changed with Location Services? I have the exact same apps running as before the update to 7.1 and now the Location Services indicator arrow is constantly being displayed... :confused:

Not fixed. Opened about 5 web pages and tabs refreshed in Safari.

I realize to some people this might be annoying but who says it was an actual defect of Safari? Did it occur to anyone that Apple intended for it to be this way? I'm sure they would've caught that if it were an actual defect.

Noticed the same thing myself. Setting up my fingerprints again seemed to help. Still feels a tad slower than on B5 though.

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

Huh, somehow I had never noticed that one. TIL

You are kidding, right? This is just annoying and should never be happening. Or do you think Apple intended for us to lose text typed on websites, just because we had to lookup something quickly and then return to Safari? Ridiculous.

I am so much happier using OS X for Internet surfing, and everything else actually. The iPad is for me a convenience, a luxury item without much meaning. It's a gadget that I want to have though, I am just disappointed with its limitations.
 
Still a few UI inconsistencies to take care of.

Yeah, shame on me for simply offering a suggestion in a thread about an iOS point update, on the assumption you predominantly use an iOS device given zero evidence to the contrary.

I can understand your frustration though, it's a real bummer when something you use a lot gets either neglected or is stripped of features or functionality.
 
Update works great, not many reloads and no crashes yet in safari.
Only peeve is the flappy bounce on the control center ;)
