Apple Releases iOS 8.1.1 With Bug Fixes, Performance Improvements for iPad 2 and iPhone 4s

[SMIDG3T]

Why is this showing up on my 6 Plus? SMH Apple.

Can you not read? It still includes bug fixes for all devices but also includes performance improvements for the iPhone 4s and iPad 2.

 

[Alimar]

Hoo boy! Do I, or don't i? i may try it on the iPad 2 right away. The 6 Plus may have to wait.

Here goes nothing... Whole point in me upgrading to IP6 From note 3 is so I could get rid of temptation to tinker all the time. Must update before urge to jailbreak happens haha

 

[andyx3x]

Hmm... I think I'll hold off on this one for a day or two.

It's always the smartest thing to do. Let other people who have to rush to do it be the guinea pigs for you.

:O The capacity on my iPad Air (1) went from 113.8 to 114.27 GB (not the stuff that I have on it, but the amount of space available for my stuff)! A new iOS version takes up LESS space!? That's new. iOS has been steadily eating up space for itself for years. Nice.

Nope. Doesn't say that.

 

[CrzyP]

There is also an update for Apple TV.

 

[go ipad]

It's showing up on all devices. It's not just for the iPad 2 and iPhone 4s, there are bug fixes and stability improvements for all devices.

Just updated my iPhone 6 PLUS now.

 

[go ipad]

Just updated my ipad Air 2. Should I notice the improvement/performance?

The weird WiFi stall/delay on my 5s seems to be fixed with this update. I hope it's permanent and I don't go back to having issues in ten minutes. Ever since 8.0, trying to change and load new pages in Safari would stall for 5 - 30 seconds, sometimes forcing me to switch off wifi and use my cellular data. I really, really hope it's fixed now.

 

[LukasValine]

I just jailbroke this morning. Breathing a sigh of relief....

 

[pnoyblazed]

Bluetooth doesn't turn itself on automatically after installing this.

I noticed that too

 

[Traverse]

And messages app keyboard freezes a lot for me too...

Luckily, I haven't experienced that, but that's unacceptable.

You will have to wait for iOS 10.1.1 for any kind OTA performance improvement.#

 

[RickInHouston]

I have both a 4s and an iPad 2.

They're not kidding that these devices have been hamstrung by iOS8.

Hoping these do indeed improve performance.

What can hope, but I am doubtful.

 

[The Doctor11]

This sounds like a really dumb question, but why does the update show on my 6 Plus when it's an update intended to fix bugs and include performance improvements for the iPad 2 and 4S? Maybe i've understood it wrong?

Because I there are other bug fixes

 

[BMcCoy]

Agreed.
The grammar is incorrect, if we assume the update is bug fixes and stability for all devices... and the performance improvements specifically for the 2 and 4S.

There probably should have been a re-phrasing, and a semi-colon in there...

Nope. Doesn't say that.

Rotation animation while in spotlight search is still laggy on my Air 2

 

[h4nc0]

performance is much improved on ipad air, esp. when switching apps.

 

[alexhardaker]

5S battery drain

does this fix the 5S battery drain 8.0.2 caused?!

 

[Imory]

Damn it. The weather app still lags when you switch between list view and detailed view to pick another city.

Delta updated on my iPhone 6 with no problems at all.
Was asked to confirm my wifi-network and log in to iCloud after boot up.

No iMessage outage.

[andyw715]

Why do I still have to Agree twice to TOS?

 

[themyst]

I am reading conflicting opinions... some say the wifi freeze bug was resolved, others say it wasn't.

What's the overall consensus on this?
