iOS 7.1 beta 5 is rock solid

what about tabs reloading? is it fixed?
It depends on how much free RAM is available. It may reload tabs if the amount is insufficient.
Yeah well on 7.0.x you can hardly load more than two tabs no matter what. That has nothing to do with ram, just bad memory management. I reckon that's fixed, right? Otherwise it'd be a crucial fail.
what about tabs reloading? is it fixed?
No. It's a little bit better but not fixed. As far as I can remember we always had this issue (more or less) in previous iOS versions too..
If I have nothing else loaded, I can successfully open 4 tabs with the following sites: the verge, apple insider, spiegel.de and yahoo.com without refreshing.
Beta 5 is the most stable iOS 7.1 build so far. Beta 3 seemed ok with a few crashes here and there but beta 4 crashed a lot. I seem to think GM should be out in a week or two. I have not had an app crash on me yet...
It's not iOS' fault. How do I know that? I've experienced the same thing for the last two or more weeks. So I took my iPhone 5 for a checkup (it was over one year old). Battery was great, out of 1440mAh I had 1180mAh left, it is pretty great.
Today they told me that there was a problem with charging, thus they replaced my old iPhone with a new one.
My advice to you is to restore your phone as new to 7.0.4 to check if it is really hardware problem and then take it to Apple, if you have warranty.
Thats good news have you found real improvement in the battery life while using the IOS 7.1? As this is what i am most concerned about can you please share.
I'm planning on returning it because of great deals of dust in the camera anyways, but I'll this to the repair list, so I'll hopefully get a new one.
Thanks
Yes, it is rock solid,,,,and hopefully puts an end to the tonne load of dumb threads people are starting here. Never seen so many silly threads on Macrumors in a long time.
iOS 7.1 is really what Apple should release in September. Stability and Smoothness have come back to iOS 6 level.
But one thing I don't understand is that older devices such as iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 are still not optimized. Some stuttering animations and battery drain can prove why. You can see a great difference when tap the Search box in iPhone 5, there is a frame drop comparing to a butter smooth animation in iPhone 5S. Hopefully older devices will get proper optimization soon.

The current ios never works as good on older devices as it does on the current most powerful device (5S). It's been like this since the iPhone began. Beta 5 runs great on the 5 though, a few frame drops are to be expected, no? That's the price users pay for not upgrading to the newest device.
Windows 8 has the same requirements as Windows 7 does, which are the same as Windows Vista. Heck, since Vista to 8.1 the only system requirement change is support for a specific CPU instruction set that was included in most machines made since something like 2005.
Meanwhile on the ARM front, the WP8 OS runs on $40 hardware. Smoothly, without lag or stutter.
If Apple wanted to make iOS 7 work on an iPhone 4 without lag, they could.
Well I guess that I will never update iOS again on my 5S. I updated my old 4S a lot and after 2 years I regretted not to stay with iOS 5.
Windows 8's requirements are not the same as Vista's..... they're slightly higher and Microsoft does not want people to upgrade old PC's to 8.1.
Windows 8 does add the SSE2/PAE/NX requierement, but the vast majority of systems that could run Windows 7 reasonably well meets it.
Can't wait for the public release. Browsing on Safari and Multitasking are painful at times on my iPad Mini.
