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

[MrGuder]

Apple surprised us all...an update on a Monday???

 

[Zombolo]

Nin.com still crashes ( almost instantly). I hope I am not back to square one with the crashing and reload issue.

Really?

What a shame...

 

[Prof.]

Looks like you can't disable the parallax effect without turning off the zooming effect as well.

Does this make Safari on the iPad Air not suck? Because Safari crashes on my Air a lot.

 

[Hollowman]

No dark keyboard option?

 

[Edgardas]

Reminders has been removed from background refresh at settings

 

[Cougarcat]

So you couldn't just turn the brightness down a tad? Is that what it basically is?

You could, but that dims everything. Reduce White Point just affects the white.

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

Yeah I'm at work for the next 4 hours. It's a 200ish MB file....I could have been done by now if I could have done this over LTE

I understand why Apple does this but jebus it's annoying.

Passcode is now accessible from the main pane in iOS 7.1 Settings.

They changed the 5 finger close app gesture on the iPad since the betas. Much better than 7.0.X but I think I like beta 1-5's gesture better.

Apple TV update adds the ability to hide apps from the main menu by pressing play/pause when you hold down select for the app to wiggle. Also, it adds a "Main Menu" option in settings to toggle apps on and off

Another iOS upgrade turned on bluetooth on all my devices (when it was previously disabled). You might want to check that if you're upgrading and don't want bluetooth active.

 

[The Economist]

Isn't this the first time Apple makes a dedicated page for a .1 release? It warrants it because of CarPlay methinks.

 

[MalcolmJID]

Downloaded in about a minute, but still sat on "Preparing Update..." hopefully these iPhone 4 improvements are very noticeable which will help my other half's speed issues.

 

[DaBossIsHere]

Looks like the Reloading Problem of Safari has been fixed... Can open 8 tabs on my Air and there isn't anymore reloading whereas before 2 to 3 tabs were the maximum.

 

[Menneisyys2]

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

I know it's too late but you could have gone the spoofed 7.1b3 way A lot of us have been perfectly happy with it. And it's MUCH more stable than 7.0.6.

I need to know: does gba4ios still function in ios7.1?

 

[chelle7i]

Downloading...

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.

I hope you're right!!! I'm just wondering why people are downloading this and are surprised by how the UI looks . I usually research the betas before I download so I'll know what to expect, just saying.

 

[Lepton]

Xcode 5.1 says it is there but isn't yet, it takes me to iTunes with XCode 5.0. Hoping for some CarPlay info or dare I say it.. a simulator!

 

[cfountain72]

Why does this update need so much empty space?

iPad Mini: iOS 7.1 update of 298MB's needs 1.9GB's of space?! What the...?

 

[BJMRamage]

Will I need the same amount of space (2.5 GB) on my phone if I download the update to iTunes and update via a cable instead of Over-the-Air?

Thanks

 

[Altis]

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

Finally now everyone who claimed 7.0 was plenty fast can admit it was a dog.

 

[Hollowman]

Weather app icons look cleaner

 

[dugbug]

BTW, the good old Gruber was right!

Right that the itunes festival app would require ios 7.1 or right that the itunes festival app would not require ios 7.1?

(Im just teasing )

Multi-tasking gestures are much faster with 7.1 and even more fluid then in iOS 6 believe it or not. My iPhone 4 is updating but it has been "Preparing Update" for 13 or so minutes.
