Am I the only one who is anal about the excessive use of periods in these marketing pages? > Getting the update is easy. Go to Settings. Select General. And tap Software Update. cmon, commas were created for a reason.

It bothers me too, but what bothers me the most is the last sentence: "And tap Software Update." It should be "Tap Software Update."

I've never seen this much marketing for a minor iOS update. I wonder what prompted the change.

When they've discussed Android in the past year or so, Apple execs like Cook and Schiller seem to have focused on two areas where they feel iOS has an advantage over Android: - Android lacks many decent tablet applications; most of them are blown-up phone versions. - The Android ecosystem is fragmented. Very few devices (proportionally) are running the latest release, and it can take years for new features to be wide…

foursquare app on my ipad looks like blown up phone version, alas

iOS 7.1 release has the same UI bug as the iOS 7.1b2 ( https://twitter.com/davidcollantes/status/411597596588011520 ). Reported, hasn't been fixed.

Perhaps it's not a bug?

It isn't? I thought of it, but it is so ugly (perhaps is my "OCD" talking here), that I can't imagine it otherwise.

And the biggest feature of 7.1 is that within a few weeks 4 out of 5 iOS users will be running 7.1. http://arstechnica.com/apple/2014/01/apple-80-percent-of-act...

Not upgrading until there's a working jailbreak.

I am still holding on to my iOS 6. I don't like all this watered down, colorless and flat UI experience.

The most annoying bug of iOS 7 was crashing of Safari. For iPad Air it happened for me all the time, every day 3-10 crashes during regular usage. Using other browser did not help - the problem was deeper, all browsers shared this issue. My biggest hope for 7.1 was this bug being fixed. But no, Safari still fails. How to reproduce: 1. Go to someone's mobile.twitter.com account, like https://mobile.twitter.com/newsycom…

I experienced that bug with Google Chrome, it use to happen when I open "too many" tabs (10 or more). Not sure if that's google's or apple's fault.

Luckily for me, iOS 7.1 fixed Safari on my iPad Air. I haven't had a crash since I updated to the beta months ago, while I was crashing daily on 7.0.

Have you tried twitter crash example? Does it work without crash for you? If so, you are lucky, I wish I could have this problem fixed too.

For Safari it happens even if there are only a few tabs opened (sometimes even for only one tab).

Oh look, I'm go glad they changed the way I answer phone calls... again. :\

Yeah, now there's 2 circles that say answer and decline in stead of 2 rectangles. Apple is out to ruin your productivity.

Having recently switched from an iPhone to an Android smartphone, I really question the "most advanced mobile OS" claim. Apple phones are more polished, more logically organized, easier to use, more intuitive... fair enough. But more advanced? Not by a long shot. The amount of features and customizable options on Android is insane. You can argue that this is not necessarily a good thing for the average user, but you…

I don't think that iOS is more logically organised, easier to use or more intuitive than Android. The settings system is a mess, and it is often much harder to do simple things on iOS than Android unless you stay strictly within Apple's suite of apps and services.
