Everything is faster now. Even the calls. People speak faster too.
just kidding. Still installing the update.
Hahahaha that made me laugh!

Thanks for all the input guys! I have noticed a few small glitches with apps on my iPhone 5, especially the random dimming hah. Sounds like a good update!
How can you claim "very stable" when the release has been out for less than a week?
If you could read properly you would notice I didn't compile that list, hence I used quotations and a source.
The random dimming is NOT fixed. Just had it happen to me last night running 6.1
True but many, many fewer complaints (or it broke my phone) than on almost all the other releases. It may have not had much new for many people but it seems to have fixed a bunch of things without breaking a bunch of other things.
Really? I used to easily be able to recreate the issue by hitting the wake button off and on for a few times. Now I can't and have not had an issue.
Do you have a BMW? On mine you can get the emails to come through as well by changing the notification settings on email, e.g. from banner to alert and then back again. Emails then come through but they are categorised as SMS. You also have to change the notification settings each time you get in the car so it's more an annoying workaround than a good solution
Just noticed your username on the quote - yes, you do have a BMW!
Yah. I tried doing what you said and it didn't happen.
However last night i was explaining to my wife how 6.1 had a lot less new features than 5.1 and 4.1 and woke my phone and it was dim. Unlocked it and still dim. Hit the sleep/wake button twice and it was back to normal.
On my 4s running 6.1. Can't seem to re-create it though, it was very rare when it did happen even before 6.1 so i doubt i'll see it again for a week or so, but it is annoying when it does happen.
Hmm that is strange. Apple is known for having major updates in x.1 updates. It saddens me that people still have this problem. I personally haven't noticed it yet but we'll see soon enough! Still looking forward to iOS 7 though. I like the few concepts that came out a few days ago!

Thanks I knew you could get email by changing the notification settings every time you get in the car but what a pain lol. I even updated the iDrive to the latest Bluetooth software for am iPhone 5. So do you think this is an apple issue or BMW issue?
App Store not working
Have any of you had the problem of the App Store not working? Every time I launch the app it just spins that "working wheel" and doesn't load up anything. Even restarted the Phone once but with no success.
Update: It's resolved. Turns out the internet connection was the actual issue. Never mind! Carry on!

I assume it's Apple as it all works OK with Blackberry but not sure to be honest. If it's BMW, they'll take years to fix it
Can't find bookmarks after install 6.1
After installing 6.1 can not get bookmarks to show up? Only get reading list, History and then iCloud tabs when clicking on Safari? What the heck is going on. Using iphone 4. Went into info and says don't need to sync, all are on icloud.

6.1 fixes more problems than create new ones. It's more stable as well.
Well, I bit the bullet and upgraded my iPhone 5 and iPad 4; no problems, but no noticeable improvements (in my experience) either.
