[maclove4life]

They kept their word.

and i thought that was "one more thing" feature...

Less than 70Mb for GSM iPhone 5 and iPad Mini Wifi (1st gen), all I hope is this update brings my iPad Mini back to life. Since iOS 8 update it became unusable, super slow.

Oh yeah...Apple Pay

Downloading....ready to checkout at Walgreens

 

[goatless]

MacRumours are ON it today!

True. They need a second site: www.MacTruths.com. Doesn't roll of the tongue yet, but it will!!

Edit: My bad. It redirects back to macrumors.

 

[pdaholic]

for those of you planning to jailbreak remember not to do this OTA

So wrong. Pangu was able to be used after an ota update. You're a jailbreak behind.

I wonder how many people will go to Walgreens/McDonald's today just for Apple Pay.

Eff McDonald's. You can use this almost anywhere. I was noticing it just yesterday at my local grocery store, the universal NFC payment symbol.

Funny. I was thinking the same thing. People wil go buy something, anything just to try it.

Downloaded pretty quick. Preparing update now. Didn't see any release notes about Touch ID, but I hope it works a lot better than it did with 8.0.2 on my Plus. Worked maybe 20% of the time.

Sounds like you just need to redo your fingerprint scans. My Plus is working just fine -- works better for some fingers than others, maybe.

 

[cliffster82]

Updating iPad now. Not risking my phone yet!

 

[greytmom]

Apple TV update available as well.

? Wonder what that is about? Bug fixes?

 

[jlake02]

Not showing available on iTunes yet.. hmm

Sounds like you have a bad sensor then, b/c on my regular six it works just fine. Seriously, take it to the store and get it replaced .. something is wrong with the hardware.

8.1

Downloaded, installed and now I have a blue screen. says something about a physical memory dump.















Oh wait, that's my PC.

 

[ricktat]

Apple TV update available as well.

I am taking my Apple TV to McDonalds today!

 

[iolinux333]

Immediately after installing on iPhone, phone caught fire. Damn.

First I'm going to McDonald's, then I'm going to Walgreens to buy meds that induce vomiting.

"Preparing Update" is taking a while..

Touch ID, but I hope it works a lot better than it did with 8.0.2 on my Plus. Worked maybe 20% of the time.

No fingerprints? I have a 6; Touch ID works 95% of the time for me (meaning it doesn't work when I have my thumb tilted way too far). Hopefully the update improves things on your phone. Or maybe you're holding it wrong... ;-).

 

[greytmom]

Mine has been vacillating between 4 minutes and 3 minutes remaining for a few minutes. But the wifi here at work is crappy, so not a big surprise.

 

[lotzosushi]

Omg it says the upgrade requires at least 4.6GB of free space and I only have 1.2GB left on my 6+ ugh

Guess I'll have to do it through iTunes.
