I'm one of them, but I'm pretty sure that TODAY is the day!!Every day there are people who are saying it is going to be released today.
I can 100% confirm it will be released before March 31st
oh. Thank you for your useful prediction!
if that is the case hope those are included in iOS 7.1 already and they release it now or they just add it in 7.1.1. like the article says.
If the concern here is children buying In App Purchases, apple should implement a way to restrict IAPs to Touch ID only. Thy way, even if a kid had their parents password, they couldn't buy in-app content.
Add more restrictions I guess? Or maybe require you to enter the security code on your credit card. Or they could use a two step verification process.
i guess no more 15 min password windows
unless they are somehow 'innovating' which would explain the long wait
I got my hopes up this morning when I kept getting the retry message when checking for the 7.1 update. I'm sure i'm not the only one pressing F5 repeatedly.
You are not alone !
its too early in the day to be pressing the refresh button. the earliest the release would be around 9:30 am PST.
The way I use Safari (or any browser) for research I'm constantly switching tabs. It would be constantly reloading each tab, I'd be losing my info, then Safari would crash.
Regardless that made my iPad Air useless to me so I returned it. Long story short they tried to give me a new one, I replicated it on the floor models so they refunded my money. Now I'm using my iPad 3 which still reloads tabs too often. Point is you don't need to switch platforms for Apple to take a hit.
As you can tell by my sig I'm certainly an Apple supporter and every time I look for a new product I see if an Apple product can do what I'm looking for. Now I'm beginning to question doing that.
Apple products come at a very high premium vs the equivalent competition and I certainly don't mind paying that premium but I pay that expecting better performance and reliability. How can my years old Motorola Xoom have 20 tabs open, Pandora playing in the background, and the browser not reload tabs or crash but the latest and greatest of Apples tablets can not?
At this point having an iPad 3 and iPhone 4S the 7.1 update won't effect me too much so I don't care at this point. Just surprised is all....
One thing I think we can agree on is that the internets are full of complainers. I've been lucky my phone has worked great. Has an app closed after opening? Sure but I just click it again not as big a deal as others make it out to be.
Yeah...not big deal when you wrote long email then go to safari to check something, then you found out your mail app refreshed...now you need rewrite entire email again... That is just great....
Alright guys. My predictions are always dead on. And I mean they are never off. I am the Apple guru, the Apple whisper, and Tim actually replied to my email this week about something unrelated to this
I say IOS 7.1....will be released............This month.
There you have it, rest easy and assured this month, is the month of no more crashing!

by the time it is out the month will be half over
It was pretty obvious (to this professional developer at least) that iOS 7.0 was rushed. The point-releases up to this point in time have been to address the heavy-hitter issues.
I'm hoping that 7.1 (whenever it is released) will be the release that makes 7.x stable, solid, and optimized for all iOS devices it supports. I'd like Apple to take their time and do it right. I was "forced" to update my iPad 4 to 7.0.6 but would've preferred to stay with 6. I can't go back. So I want Apple to make 7.1 as high quality as 6.1.3 was for me.
If the ability to delete update installer images is indeed in 7.1 then that is a terrific first step in allowing customers to have a bit more control over when or if they choose to update.
The greater issue IMO is the fact that it takes Apple 6+ months into a 12 month OS release cycle to release a version that attains a particular level of quality.
6 months from now the cycle will start all over again. 6 months of dealing with OS issues, 6 months of stability....
Apple defenders claim that iOS 7 is working fine and that anyone who disagrees is hyper-sensitive drama queen who simply likes to complain. They fail to understand that every time that Apple releases a point-release update it is an acknowledgement on Apple's part that there are things needed to be addressed and corrected.
If Apple is admitting that there are problems why are the fanboys denying it?
