What's up guys? Just seeing how people like iOS 6.1! Do you notice any major differences than from 6.0.2? This update doesn't seem like it has a lot of major upgrades which is why I'm curious if there is a noticeable difference. Lemme know!

Some features are still developing, but these are they key ones:

-Larger "Report a Problem" button in Maps
-New music controls on lock screen when you double-press home button
-Siri can now purchase movie tickets via Fandango (USA only)
-LTE now works with several European, African and American carriers
-Individual songs can once again be downloaded or deleted when using iTunes Match
-New, persistent Passbook pass explaining service functionality.
-The sample card within Passbook has been updated slightly for those in the -United Kingdom, changing “movie tickets” to “cinema tickets” in the first sentence, and “theaters” to “cinemas” in the last sentence.
-Reset Advertising Identifier button now works.
-New cellular data option for iTunes.
-Voice Dial Only mode for Siri.
-When setting up an iOS device for the first time with iCloud, it will now ask you to confirm your Apple ID password for FaceTime and iMessages. It will also ask you to confirm how you’d like people to reach you, and tells you that you can change these settings at any time later on.

The only part of this update, that was worth anything to me: Ability to delete individual songs from iTunes match. This was driving my car stereo crazy for some reason, and now it's back to normal. Tested it this morning, and was so happy to have my music back.
 
I would also venture to guess the Do Not Disturb bug has been fixed. Just a total guess on my part though.

Yeah i noticed that aswell. But wifi now seems to be more stable and consistent now. Also transition from cellular to wifi or wifi to cellular is also faster now
 
Total bs that you still can only receive text messages on the car nav. Email should have been fixed months ago.
 
Very stable, but no new features...

With so much time left to WWDC, Apple can actually pull off iOS 6.2. It's only a matter of whether they want to or not.
 
Everything is faster now. Even the calls. People speak faster too.

just kidding. Still installing the update. ;)

Looks like it fixed a few bugs like"


1. The Infamous Time issue when it is set to Auto Set.
2. The Random Dimming of the Screen when you turn it on.
3. Failed to Send Text Message.


I like it and thinks it makes iOS 6 polished the way it should have been from the start.

That dimming was annoying.

Never experienced number 3 on iOS 6.0.1....
 
Reluctant to Upgrade

With my iPhone 5 and iPad 4 working just fine on 6.0.2 and 6.0.1, respectively, I am unwilling to upgrade them to 6.1 right now; I am afraid of "catching" any of the minor to moderate problems being reported here and other threads.

6.1 fixes more problems than create new ones. It's more stable as well. :)
