Huh, it's looking like we may not get iOS 7.1 until the END of March. Look at the first few tweets. Source below, although not sure how credible it is:

OK, I'll rephrase that. For people running iOS 7.0.6, it's a big update.

I am running 7.1 atm and for me this is a tiny update
Experienced the first springboard crash last week since iOS 7.0 beta 1!
iOS 8 will be more exiting

March was the only time frame given so that is a possibility but i still hope they release it this week or early next week.
As good as the chances of it being released any other day during this week or perhaps next week or perhaps even later.
Is it really updated within seconds of the release becoming available?Wow you get mad about such a "tiny" update.
I think someone should start a thread "iOS 8, Where Art Thou?"
For everyone that is annoyed by refreshing the software update all the time just follow this account: https://mobile.twitter.com/iOSRelease within seconds after the update is released you will have a notification
Because John Gruber, one of the most highly respected Apple bloggers, said so. Also, in the past Apple has released the iTunes Festival app about one week before the Festival started. And in case you haven't noticed, it's not out yet. I wonder why?
So if John Gruber told you to jump off of a bridge.......ah forget it.
Different for everyone. I have no problems with the iPad mini on 7.0.6.
By the way does anyone know how many people work for apple in the iOS developing section ?
If it was coming end of March wouldnt John Gruber have said so
I'm not sure who or what to believe now if I'm honest.

LOL, you beat me to it

Yep. I would bet more money on that than the update being released on Friday or Monday.

This dude Jason has no idea what he's talking about. He's going off the fact that Apple has to change the App Store purchase flow by March 31st.
Might as well expect a Warewolf by the next full moon because Dean and Sam said so!
I mean, are you serious? Of course not, because John Gruber isn't an expert on the survivability of bridge jumping. However, if John Gruber says that 7.1 is going to be released soon, it's likely true.
If Neil Degrasse Tyson says that the movie "Gravity" has scientific inconsistencies, it's probably true.
It's not just "some guy on twitter" but someone that consistently makes correct statements about Apple's product plans, and is widely known to have credible sources. It's really not that hard to understand.
Seems like they are pretty quick, but hard to say if that's always consistent or faster than other places in general. For example, MacRumor's article about iOS 7.1 beta 2 seems to have been published at least about 5 minutes before that account tweeted about it. And the account doesn't even have any mention of iOS 7.1 beta 1 being released. So, while it seems like a potentially useful resource, I'm not sure it's something that trumps everything else necessarily.Yep. I would bet more money on that than the update being released on Friday or Monday.

My research about them was not as intense as yours
First time I used them was for 7.1 beta 5, there they were faster than anyone on this forum.
But as you said it seems that it is not always this case.
According to their website it refreshes every minute. I guess that's how they figure out so fast that it is available to x devices.

What's the big ********** deal about iOS 7.1? What does it do that is so much better than the current system?
Crashes less apparently.
I want a more stable OS but I don't understand the excitement going on in this thread. It's only a .1 release.
Take a look at the tidbits on the beta's MacRumours provide and then you'll see why it IS a big deal.
