Because everyone in the iPhone world is updating now and the servers are slammed... I can't even do an iCloud backup.
Only been through thirty pages but haven't seen anything about the keyboard. It has changed to solid black letters on stark white background. Is this a change because I thought it used to be different. Checked settings but can't find any type of setting to change. Thanks. (I'm talking about my iPad Air)
All smooth here on a 5s

It's actually faster for me.

Yes, the background is brighter, the text is darker, and the shift key behaves differently (solid arrow is lowercase, solid background is shift, and the latter with a line under the arrow is caps lock).
And now we can release the swarm.
Edit: GBA4iOS appears to be working fine after turning back the date to 2012, if anyone was wondering.
Edit 2: And it enables bluetooth for no particular reason again. I never understood why updates always do this...
Location accuracy and nearby services are improved when Bluetooth is turned on. So in order to provide a 'better experience', Apple turns on the Bluetooth.
Subtle changes I've noticed but haven't seen mentioned:
-If you delete an app (like I had to for room to install 7.1) and reinstall it, it reinstalls itself in its original location.
-If you have no music playing/paused/nothing in your music library at all, CC looks a little awkward in the middle.
-Redesigned 'x' for notifications in NC
-Smoother (albeit slower) transitions between panes in NC if you use a swipe; thankfully, however, multiple swipes register so you can do a double swipe to move over two panes (without lag).
-After restart, if you try to use Touch ID, it reminds you that you must put in a passcode with "Touch ID requires your passcode when iPhone restarts", rather than "Passcode required after restart".
-The "swipe to close" (AKA "claw") gesture for iPad is much smoother.

I usually do OTA but I was over the storage requirement, so I tried iTunes (which requires a much larger download) and gave up when it got to 2000 hours...
Then I deleted some apps and it took 5 minutes OTA.

Well, my iPad just gave up and said it couldn't download the update. Not much luck in iTunes either, says 31 hours remaining. Guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow.
Definitely disagree with you there. Touch ID seems just as fast if not faster since beta 5.
As an owner of multiple Nexus and iOS devices, I can assure you Apple's approach is more practical. There's an issue in the software industry called user update fatigue. Apple rolls out fewer and larger updates than Google, while Google has far more frequent and smaller size updates during the same period of time. On the surface, Google may appear to be moving faster, but in reality, Apple customers are receiving higher quality software albeit over a longer period of time between each update.
Thank you.All smooth here on a 5s

Mines instant. It doesn't even show the lock screen it goes straight to the unlocking animation. Beta 5 and final are identical like I mentioned before.
Does anyone know if the update solves the iPad Air / rMini home screen crash issue? (low memory error logs) ?
Not to be a jerk, but why not read the update release notes? That's what they're for.

"Fixes a bug that could occasionally cause a home screen crash"
Wait a minute. So Is Music.app still a ton of $h!t? Then I couldn't care less about this update.
Darker green? New call button? Is that what you people were so excited about?
So the overall OS performing better and being more stable with less bugs is not even worth anything at all?
I have. It seems no different than beta 5. Apple wouldn't intentionally slow down things from a beta to a public release.

They're probably on iOS 6.
