I just got off the phone with Best Buy and they told me I have 15 days after my delivery date which was Feb 27th. So that brings me to Friday the 14th. I've decided that if I don't see 7.1 by then i'll take back my Air and wait for the A8 later this year.
Wait for the A8 friend! It'll have touchID and other perks
On a side note: CMON APPLE. RELEASE THE ****ING UPDATE ALREADY!
