YES is exactly the same way as ATV via a 59p ($99c) app that runs in the background so AirPlay is 100% the same. That was the deal breaker for me.

Well closer read "This release includes bug fixes, increased stability........................ AND performance improvements for iPad 2 and iPhone 4s."
I see how it potentially could be misread though
Apple doesn't very often bring out new features in the ".x" releases, do they? They seemed to make an exception with iOS 8, enabling Apple Play with 8.1, but i can't see features like split-screen multitasking coming out in this release. They would usually hold back a significant feature like that for the next major release.
I hope they fix things like synchronizing keyboard shortcuts and user dictionaries, because that stuff is still broken.

Anybody else notice that the more major firmware troubles started
ever since Jony Ive took over iOS ...?

Nothing. I guess there are some bug fixes, but the performance issues are still there in some apps.
I'm guessing it doesn't stream purchased TV shows and Movies from the iTunes store? That's what 95% of my ATV usage is and why I keep hold of them alongside my Chromecasts
Upon reading some forums comments, I have updated my iPhone 6+ ios 8.1.1. Definitely the rotation is faster and more responsive. I wouldn't say it's perfect. Ios6 definitely had the buttery smooth perfect rotation that I miss. Also, it is not smooth in spotlight search as some people said. Also upon wake up it doesn't seem to find the right rotation.
Apple please make it better! Don't stop here!

Haha same here I gained like 400-500mb on my iPad and iPhone. I don't think the overall capacity increase like you said, mine is still 12gb on a 16gb iPhone which I think is the same as before. The update may have cleared some music and video cache. Not sure where the extra space is coming from but its sweet

Security
I seen in the Security section of the update that it has information about unsigned code... I wonder if this addresses the Masque Attack and WireLurker issues

What about all the studies that came out saying iOS and iOS apps crash more than Android and Android apps?

Certainly doesn't seem like iOS is more stable. You may think it is because iOS doesn't actually tell you when things crash. They'll crash silently in the background without the user seeing any error messages.
Ever been using an app and suddenly you're back at Springboard? That's a crash.
Yeah same here. It's weird how that happened on a x.x.1 update. Had to also confirm my iMessage seetings.
um why not just flip right or left while on details screen to get to the next city? I mean if the list to details is driving you that batty. Or unless you have 14-11 citys in there I suppose that could be a little hard. Just throwing it out there.
iOS Game Controllers Work Again
iOS bluetooth game controllers once again work under iOS 8.1.1! My Moga Rebel has excellent latency to my iPad Air.

So are all you iPad 2 users experiencing better performance with this latest update? Safari is SERIOUSLY stuttery(especially the keyboard lag - drives me insane) on 8.1, does 8.1.1 fix this ?!
) on 8.1, does 8.1.1 fix this ?!
My wife has had this and we thought it was a voiceover thing.but one thing that has worked is not to use airplay streaming. if she uses bluetooth to her speakers it does not do it. but if she uses airplay it does.
fire tv and fire phone, just a couple of fleeting moments. I would rather stick with something that will be around and have some support. but if it works for you, great.
I hesitated to download it right away. You took my trust away Apple, after 8.0.1.
It's more important than ever to simply wait and watch as others gamble by installing any Apple authored so called "upgrade". Apple is seemingly preoccupied, distracted, or otherwise prone to mistakes, errors and the like, the risk is too great for my comfort zone.
I rely on my iP6+ therefore downtime is out of the question. I'm currently running the original OS which has been excellent. Upgrading to have the latest would be completely foolish.
I chose to operate in the "I'll believe it when I see it" mode with Apple. A practice that serves me better than anything they hype. Choosing to not trust Apple pays off handsomely and saves nasty surprises.
Agree with you about the phone. There's too much competition.
ATV is no competition.
Well this is odd, I updated to 8.1.1 and now my credit card is no longer showing in Passbook or associated withPay.
Could it be that any OS update removes sensitive credit card data? I don't know, just wondering if this might be a security feature.
Does it work after re-entering your credit cards? Note that it's very easy to enter CC data by using the camera.
Speaking of Apple Pay ... it's very nice. I like the security features, and the instant notification of transactions (even when not using NFC) is great.
