iOS 7.1 Now available

Doing a complete restore because i'm like that.
What i'm hoping for most is less Safari crashing on my iPad Air!

Also, just bring me iTunes radio already!
It needs to happen!

Mercifully ios7.1 seems to have improved the performance of my ipad 3, there is noticeably less stutter especially on the multitasking window and when typing.

Recently jail broke 7.0.6 using evasi0n so I'll hang fire just now.

What I want to know is when iTunes Radio is launching in the UK. I was hoping it would coincide with the 7.1 release. I guess not though.

Being held up by the £££ demands of Sony in the UK iirc.

Just installed this on my Mum's iPhone 4 and there is a noticeable performance boost, it used to almost stutter when opening apps and moving between folders/screens.

Now on 7.1 it's much smoother, not a bad improvement at all.

I've noticed a similar improvement on iPad 2.

Does it make it waterproof?

iPhone 4 is much faster. Is it me or is it doing funny things with album artwork on the lockscreen?

Emails don't seem to be being pushed through to my phone though, just checked my phone and it hadn't updated since 6 this morning when I turned my phone on. Had 3 emails sitting on Gmails servers...

I was beginning to worry that Apple might be crippling older devices with new IOS to encourage upgrading.

Will try this on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4, a little bit of extra performance would be awesome.

Miles faster on a 3rd gen ipad retina, and on an iPhone 4s. Good update.

Cosimo · 11 Mar 2014 at 13:34

Updating. Cheers

Likewise. I actually bought a Nexus 5 last week as I was sick of fighting with my iPhone 4. I took it back, couldn't get on with it, and thankfully this update has really helped.

Email problems I mentioned have disappeared thankfully.

Performance has improved on an iPad 3.

Vastly better feel to the Ipad 3 Retina. First time I've genuinely been impressed with one of their updates.

The digital clock one isn't new to 7.1. But a good list nonetheless.

Impressed. My mini retina is so much smoother and I haven't had a single crash in safari all evening. I really like the UI tweaks as well.

How's battery life compared to 7.0.6?

The_Baron · 12 Mar 2014 at 08:11

The Safari crashes have stopped for me. Eureka.

Give or take 15 minutes on most models according to Ars, with the exception of the iPad Mini which loses an hour.
