Of note it isn't in Australia yet... and it's the 21st over here
I'll be curious to hear how it goes when it does land there, since you folks were having some of the most pervasive wifi issues.
You had irreplaceable documents in the cloud with no offline backups and you assumed they were safe???
Never do that.
any noticeable battery problems? i had serious battery issues with the 8.1 b2 on my iPhone 5. Still rocking the b1 which is fine.
Nothing in Settings regarding Passport or Apple Pay. Only iCloud & iTunes/App Store tab. Also dont have the ability to toggle the new 2G/3G/LTE option...
Software Update in General definitely states that I'm on 8.1 so I'm stumped right now.
Basically what I had to do to get it to work also. But now it does.
Also as an aside, I had to do reset network settings on both my iPad and iPhone to get the instant hotspot to work also. (I know this was working in 8.0.2 previously, but i couldn't get it working, thought maybe 8.1 would fix it. it didnt, so i had to resort to reset netwrok settings on both and now it works.)
just remember to rename your iphone/ipad after doing so as restting network settings restores them back to iPhone and iPad generically.
Strange. Apple says you need to be on the same wifi network to send/receive SMS. However, I'm on different networks (big apartment building and some signals are picked up on my MBP that aren't on my iP5) yet my SMS messages sent from MBP are still working (and being received) without hassle.
I would say out of all the new features, this is definitely my fav.
[edit]: Ahh realised it's done via bluetooth. I wish phone calls used the same principle.

After installing 8.1 I tried sending an imessage to my wife's iphone from my iphone 6. It fails everytime. I turned off bluetooth, turned off wifi. Rebooted the iphone, still no luck. WTF
Edit: turning off imessage in settings and turning back on fixed it.

my costco amex is my itunes cc, so i just had to enter my CVV code.
My AAdvantage Citi card didnt work with the photo feature. the exp date on it is 10/31/2015, so it read it in as 1/2015. so had to manually edit the expiration date after it entered the info from photo. then it worked fine.
I need 2.2GB of free space to install a 128 MB update??? Apple really has to figure this out. I shouldn't have to clear a bunch of space each time I want to do an OTA upgrade. I'll use my computer this time instead of deleting a bunch of stuff like I did a month ago with 8.0, but this is really getting to be annoying.
So, done updates to my iPhone 6 and iPad Air through my Mac, both came up with an error "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. The session ID is missing." after the update was finished when it tried to reconnect with the devices, and my parents iPhone 4S's came up with a different error but probably the same thing on a Windows 7 machine.
Well done Apple, your always giving us new things lately.

Make sure your card scanned right. I noticed it messed up the expiration date on one of mine. Double check the number, name, and expiration date. And of course make sure you typed the CVV number in correctly.
I did that too and i have the same problem as the person you replied to. Handoff isn't working at all between iPhone 6 and macbook pro

Calm down dude. Why don't you just say your piece and then move on?

Yes it is, updated mine at 5:30 this morning (21st)
It makes sense that that's the number they woudl want if asked. But it doesn't make sense that they need a number at all. I'm not understanding why they would want it. And if it's gratuitous checking of info, this is the kinda stuff that will inhibit apple pay adoption...
Me either... of note I'm in Australia.

Interesting!!! It's just me. Did you have 8.0.2 previously? I have 8.0 so maybe it doesn't allow a direct update?
Edit: What am I talking about... it's available now! Crisis averted
Ok, not sure if you did this...
There is no app. Just go to Passbook, swipe all the way to the top, slowly. You should see a + in the top right corner to add a new Passbook card. Press it, then it'll walk you thru adding either a CC or other type of card. Select CC.
very odd. i have no clue then.
mine is in a three button portion under privacy. after privacy comes:
iCloud
itunes and app store
passport & apple pay
then the next set starts with mail/contacts/calendars.
do you have a passport app?
Apple has made several public statements saying that Apple does not collect transaction data and has no interest in tracking your purchase activity for advertising.
The last two sections on http://www.apple.com/apple-pay/ reference this directly. A Google search for Tim Cook comments about Apple Pay will turn up similar statements.
