Ah yes, the hive mind thinks as one. Forget independent thought, well done on the talking points.

Yes, obviously, read the patch notes. Now move along.

havent found any issues on the ipad air 2 since i bought it. maybe app crash, probably app bug, not ios
No noticeable difference on my iPhone6 to me, but luckily I didn't have any issues so there is not much to look for.
Seriously? They still haven't fixed the iPad multitasking gesture bug where it randomly stops working.......what the hell was the 346 mB iPad update fix for? Luddites who still have 3-4 year old devices? Nice. How the hell do they not see this stuff?
Gestures are one of those features you either always use or never do. So for the millions of us that do I guess this is another middle finger to us.

That is strange indeed. Any one else with this issue? Did you install OTA or via iTunes? I used iTunes so maybe OTA caused some weird issue.
Safari is so fast, its even scary
Major major improvement on my Air 2. Scary might describe it.
You found having to click links multiple times and or zoom in and out to get a hyperlink to work in Safari as normal?
Nope. Mine quit connecting yesterday morning, and the update changed nothing. It still won't connect when it had been fine for a month. Just magically stopped connecting, telling my my password was incorrect.
All other devices connect fine, including an iPad3 on 8.1.1. I have a replacement iP6+ coming tomorrow.
Doesnt change that plenty changed indeed the hood in iOS 8 even if you are noticing it. While none of that should have had impact on something like that, potentially something might have, even if it's a bug of some sort. And that's leaving out the fact that plenty of people don't see that issue anyway.

What patch notes would those be, out of curiosity?
----------
Final having a build that is slightly different (higher) than the last beta is fairly normal and pretty much expected even.
----------
There were always bugs and will always be. And iOS 7 and Mavericks are both widely seen as stable and well performing these days actually.
Then I guess nobody really knows, do they?
Although they said enough. It clearly wasn't in there.
So basically your reply about release notes really didn't say anything. Got it.
As far as knowing perhaps someone ran into it and doesn't anymore and can comment on that. And as far as it being included, bug fixes are mentioned, so it could clearly be included as part of those.

iPad mini performance improvement should be listed in the change log.. I noticed a significant performance improvement after installing 8.1.1.
No kidding! both of my iPad 2s and my iPad mini (first gen) suck now. I hardly use them because safari is so slow now, plus there's a huge lag when typing on all of these. It's the first time I've ever wished I hadn't upgraded my iOS.
My 4s in no way seems underpowered or pushed to the limit on 8.1.1 version. It is still a fine phone. I will keep using it until it yields its spirit. I would rather invest in a MacBook Air Retina if they ever hit.
Weather did seem to pick up some animation on the background screens, recently. It's snowing on mine right now...

It uses iPad 2 internals so it is listed kinda.

8.1.1 fixes performance greatly on my original iPad Mini. It has the iPad 2 internals so I imagine the iPad 2 would be good as well.
I was joking more than anything... got the upvotes for some reason. It's just that everyone complains about weird stuff sometimes...
