iOS 7.1 update

[dk]

This is out for iPad and iPhone, first thing I noticed was that the keyboard on the iPad has much darker letters now.

the power off screen is different, and the answer screen is also different.

Thats about out all I've noticed so far. I think Siri has been updated but I never use that anyway.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Noticed it mentions HDR will now stay on, which is good. But no mention of any fixes for the playlist resetting in Music gutted, most annoying thing about iOS 7.

 

[AK]

It looks like accessibly has been turned on, lol.

 

[dk]

Just took a picture and noticed that HDR was off, I thought the update turned it on.

always annoys me when every update turns Bluetooth on, it remembers every other setting, why can't it remember to turn that back off.

Needs 1.9 gb to update my iPad!!!

 

[dk]

Strange, sure mine was only 285mb update on my iPad and around 180mb on my iPhone.

 

[172Ben]

Over the air updates are bigger

 

[tonksy26]

Anyone notice apps arnt opening ?

Had a few apps that just close as soon as u open them

 

[Jaff.]

Over the air update for my phone is sub 300mb...

 

[172Ben]

I got the same thing, wanted me to have 2.5gb of space for my ipad update, but phone was normal...

Weird

 

[dk]

i did both mine over the air, can't remember the last time i used iTunes, and both were small updates.

 

[AK]

Same, both were under 300mb.

 

[DannyR]

My phone is under 200mb but asking for 1.9gb of space. I have 1.2 free!

 

[AK]

Update it via the computer.

 

[STICKER TWONK]

186mb download, 1.9gb of space required on my 4S, Apple logic?

 

[mikeh]

It needs the space to unpack it and run through the update process.

 

[STICKER TWONK]

Seems like a ridiculous amount of space. Ipad Air seems to be updating OTA fine and I've not much space left on that, 4S I've had to plug into computer.

 

[DannyR]

Update it via the computer.

I don't currently have one with anything iTunes or my library etc on.

The point of new Apple devices is to not need that!

 

[AK]

Clear some space then, lol.

 

[DannyR]

Lol I will eventually! I'm going to need to go baller next upgrade and even then the 128gb will probably be available!

 

[Gally]

It's retarded! Clean 1.9GB FOR A 200MB DOWNLOAD!! Mongs!

Updated, cannot understand that block at the bottom of the screen, looks s**t, why not leave it clear behind? Why the block of stupid grey?

 

[Gareth]

Mine still doesn't seem to leave HDR on!

 

[olliewebbuk]

My iPad Mini Retina still suffers from the crashes. Might restore it and see what the outcome is.

 

[The Boosh!]

Here's what i've noticed:

- Noticably quicker for me. Messages and apps seem to open instantly
- kepboard letters have been switched to bold font
- notification area on swipe down has bigger fonts and it's easier to clear notifications. The small x used to be fiddly but they've corrected that now.
- Call screen looks different.

^^ as above

FFS, it used to be that way on the 5, now they are only enabling it for 5s, what a joke.

HDR turning off if you turn it on.

 

[dk]

i am glad they have changed the answer call action, as i never liked it in ios7, it never seemed to be positive enough to know you'd answer it first time every time with the swipe, i prefer the new way.

 

[Pearcy]

The green phone and message icons aren't as bright i dont think.

 

[Pearcy]

Ridicpusly quick opening and closing apps now on 5s

 

[Paprika123]

Would be good if they could move the volume away from the >> skip button on the lock screen. Hey ho good update otherwise.

 

[DannyR]

It would be good to be able to change the volume buttons to skip track.

Would make switching in a car a lot easier and safer. Once volume is set its usually not touched
