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

[Rogifan]

So what happens if you're downloading and then have to go off wifi? Does it pick up your download where it left off when you get back on wifi or do you have to start all over again?

Wow, my iPhone 5 flies (not literally) on 7.1.

 

[C DM]

OMG, they even patched problems that didn't have existed, like iPhone 4 being slow!

Clearly that has been a problem for a lot of people with iPhone 4 and iOS 7.0.

Mines been preparing the update for about 10 min now! Arrrggghh

Now my estimate has jumped down to "about 11 minutes remaining". So, who knows.

 

[digitalhen]

Have all the battery problems been fixed? My iPhone 5 barely lasts half a day at the moment.

 

[v1p]

BTW, the good old Gruber was right!

 

[icloud87]

just new version 7.1 why everyone sound like
big deal like ios 8

nothing change much on this ver

 

[iamMacPerson]

iPhone 5. iOS 7.1 is smooth as all hell. Absolutely no lag whatsoever I also like how the greens are toned down a bit. Apps close really, really, really fast now.

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.

Jailbreaks are based on security exploits. They didn't just plug the exploits to screw with jailbreakers, they're plugging potentially hazardous security holes in the OS.

Fixes display of Mail unread badge for numbers greater than 10,000

Yeah, the badge now just says "seriously?"

 

[ToyGun1]

LOL Great one Apple about time.

Is the pig ugly change to the call screen and calling screen still in place? :-(

Yes. I wouldn't say it's ugly, but usability-wise, it's worse because the tap area is smaller. Maybe I'll get used to it.

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

Omg could it look any uglier?? I guess not.

7.1 feels kinda fast to me!

 

[ross1998]

Good, in a month from now my phone will be worth about 50 dollars cause it's jailbroken

Anyone else notice that the evad3rs have been really quite for the past couple of months? I think they are bummed that they never got paid that 1 million dollars by that Chinese company.... They would have been a lot better off asking for donations from public.

 

[AppleWarMachine]

About time, thanks Apple, I hope it's worth the wait

The update is 1.4GB, but it's saying I require at least 4.5GB of storage to update. Any idea why? I'm running 7.1 beta 5. 4.5GB is a lot of space to have free on a 16GB device!

sure ... if u havent actually used an iPhone 5/S device and dont know any better. by the time my old iPhone 4's Camera shutter finally opens up i have already taken 10 pics on my iPhone 5

Updated in the uk.
Looks like iTunes Radio is still disabled here.

- Manually control when Siri listens by holding down the home button while you speak and releasing it when you're done as an alternative to letting Siri automatically notice when you stop talking

You know, what I'd really like is "interactive mode" for Siri, where you can turn on Siri, carry on a series of commands, and then turn it off when you're done (or after some interval with no commands issued), without having to hit the home button over and over.

 

[Nimrad]

YES! FINALLY the calendar is useable again!

 

[Edgardas]

OMG, it is so fast on 5S, wtf they have done

 

[johnnyjibbs]

I like how Apple has reverted to the iOS1-6 calendar month view and yet advertises it as a great new feature!!!

 

[bkends35]

My iPad took 3 min to prepare the update and my phone took about 12 min. Maybe because my iPad was still running beta 5.

I'm really surprised we're able to OTA to 7.1 from beta 5. I don't think apple has ever let us do that before.

Its not ugly! Its SUPER Ugly. Disgusting! I cannot believe it. They even changed it in the apple website... so sad
