Got a tip for us?

iOS 7.1, the waiting game.....

Guess you don't use it on a 16Gb or if you do, hardly have any music or other apps on there taking up the 100s of MBs of space it consumes in caching. Last time I deleted it and re-installed it after it bugged me when I was using it, it freed up over 800Mb and I'm on iOS 7.0.4 and keep all my apps up to date so it's not like I wasn't using the latest version on the latest iOS at the time.
Been using it on a 16 GB phone for years (on an iPhone 4 and now iPhone 5). Sure, it ends up taking up more and more space as far as caching, but uninstalling the app and reinstalling it every month or two takes care of it fairly quickly. I agree it's not how it should be and it should be done better as far as clearing out the cache sooner and/or more often and/or providing an option in the app to do it, but at least the workaround to clear it (uninstall and install) isn't much of a hassle. Similar kind of thing applies to a number of other apps as well.
Maybe one day Apple will decide to make some kind of central caching for apps so you can just go into the app settings and clear it from there but it is ridiculous that Facebook themselves don't even think of putting a limit on it that's user definable.
Both my gen1 iPad mini and 5S have been messed up since the latest iOS 7.0.4 update.
My iPad mini has been affected the most. It's overall performance is much slower. It's frustraing to use it now. It also crashes oftern.
My 5s doesn't lag like my ipad mini. But it crashes all the time. I have even gotten a blue screen during a restart.
I have grown dissapointed with Apples lack of real innovation and poor operating iOS. I may consider switching to a different operating system.

When will this torture end..........
I get decent battery life with iOS 7.0.4.
It was bad at first but after a fresh install it's been good. 6-8 hours of usage depending on my reception.
I'd like to see an improvement but to be honest I doubt I'll ever really see more then 8 hours of usage on a single charge.

I'm pretty sure most software problems are.... well, problems with the software, I'm sure a clean install or waiting for 7.1 wud solve the issue
What phone is it? If it's device with 512mb RAM (iPhone 4S or earlier, iPad 2, iPad mini 1) don't expect much from 7.1. These devices are just showing their age and lack of ram to maintain apps suspended state.
"Apple today released iOS 7.0.5 for the iPhone with a minor maintenance update to correct network provisioning in China for some iPhone 5s and 5c models sold in China, Europe, and Asia Pacific. Customers receiving iOS 7.0.5 outside of China will likely see no benefit from the update as it is designed to correct network provisioning within the country."
MacRumors
Wonder if this will push back 7.1? If it were really close I would suspect they would have waited and just roll out 7.1 to China too right? Hmmm
Could easily be different sets of people supporting the two, meaning that it wouldn't really have an effect or at least much of an effect one way or another.
Actually after thinking about it 7.0.1 came out like the day after 7.0 for those same devices and was ONLY for those 2 devices if I recall. Then like a week later 7.0.2 for all devices. So yeah probably not make a difference.

My spidy senses are telling me that we've still got one to two betas left, ur right tho, bgr is a hit or miss website, but I think this ones a hit
While beta 4 is fairly stable, there are some crashes still..Today my iPhone rebooted unexpectedly. On my iPad I yet have to see any crashes with 7.1 beta 4.
Apple needs to work out all issues and publish a rock solid update. I don't care about any features or aesthetic changes.

In a case like this one it's almost like a coin flip prediction can be a hit roughly half the time, without anything meaningful behind that prediction/guess. Based on past history and the release of the first beta it seemed quite likely that the final will come out in Q1 of 2014, meaning essentially January, February, or March, so guessing March has 1/3 shot at being right just on its own without anything else involved. In the end, even with some sort of "inside info" it all generally still ends up being just a guess.
I feel like they'll still add new features, so I'm betting my coins on March or at least the end of February
