When is iOS 8.1 releasing?

[vtboyarc]

I'll let you take a guess on that one. Just throw a wild guess out there.

herp derp at op

----------

they have been testing Yosemite for months I am pretty sure there was even public betas for it, its not like tomorrow they are just telling us about it for the first time

Yep, you are correct. There was indeed a public beta for Yosemite with over a million people having signed up, a couple months ago.

 

[Cwrkr]

i'll wait for 8.2! Apple screwed its customers with 8.0 and it will take awhile for them straighten it out. Apple does not care!

 

[SMIDG3T]

Tomorrow after the event. Along with Yosemite.

Simple. As. That.

 

[TheUnforgiven]

They'll release an all-out Chinese version of 8.1. Tomorrow. After the event.

 

[iolinux333]

10am PDT today.

Anyone want to guess the date?

October 16 or October 17 or October 20 or October 21 or October 22, or ...

Any of that guessing interesting or useful in some way?

Hi Yosemite is coming on the 16 of this month

To use handoff and continuity one needs Yosemite and 8.1

So anyone guess when 8.1 ios going to release to public?

I hope it's tomorrow, with my current iOS 8 on the iPhone 6 being extremely buggy, I'm more excited for the 8.1 than any of the iPad updates...

For a second there, i thought you said you want to lick your iphone :l

interesting development with the help app as of 10/15. Wondering if that will impact the 8.1 roll-out timeline? I would guess the removal of the glucose piece in healthapp (which is still in b2) may be in the release version?

 

[shankar2]

Ok it's coming out next Monday and yosemite today!

 

[jonnyb098]

A GM should be out today.

 

[nikicampos]

A GM should be out today.

I'm not sure about that, we might not see a GM for 8.1 this time.

 

[Daniel97]

dev portal is still up so i don't think were getting a GM tbh

 

[yaboyac29]

I'm not sure about that, we might not see a GM for 8.1 this time.

i think we will. developers need a head start on their apps it seems. no one knows wtf they're doing anymore after the iPhone 6 launch.

I have a feeling there will be no GM due to Apple Pay. I think they probably don't want anyone using it before Monday.

 

[richard371]

Agreed.

Makes sense, but we can hope otherwise!

the new terminals in store probably won't be set up until monday anyways, so even if we have 8.1 today, there wouldn't be any terminals for people to use apple pay.

Apple Pay just uses the standard contactless terminals that have been in circulation in many stores for years already now.

It's not everywhere -- but plenty of drugstores have had them since 2008.

I don't think they usually release GMs for the x.1 releases. I don't believe 7.1 had one. I doubt we will see one for 8.1. Devs have betas to work with if needed.

Pretty much all of the stores that Apple has called out as "partners" are already running NFC terminals.

Last year was the exception. There has been a GM every other time to my knowledge. Don't know what they plan to do this time

 

[caesarp]

What time on Monday for 8.1?

So if 8.1 (which enables Apple Pay) is released at 1:00 PM ET ion Monday, than half the business day is gone on the east coast.

Any chance this releases earlier than the usual time?

ya but perhaps they need some configuration from the store's end or else you could theoretically go into any store that has NFC (like most in Canada) and just use your phone to pay.
