Tuesday April 22, 2014 9:55 am PDT by Juli Clover
Apple today released iOS 7.1.1 to the public, a month and a half after releasing its first major update, iOS 7.1. While iOS 7.1 included several visual tweaks along with the addition of CarPlay, Siri improvements, and Touch ID enhancements, today's minor update focuses only on bug fixes.

iOS 7.1.1, labeled as build 11D201, offers additional improvements to Apple's Touch ID, fixes a bug that impacts keyboard responsiveness, and fixes a bug involving Bluetooth keyboards with VoiceOver enabled. The update also includes Safari support for some new top-level domains like .photo.

711
This update contains improvements, bug fixes and security updates, including:

- Further improvements to Touch ID fingerprint recognition
- Fixes a bug that could impact keyboard responsiveness
- Fixes an issue when using Bluetooth keyboards with VoiceOver enabled
iOS 7.1.1 can be downloaded via the software update tool in the settings menu on iOS devices.

Apple has also released a 6.1.1 update for the Apple TV.

Now I must connect my phone to iTunes. I wish Apple was as good as people think they are.


It's not Apple, it's you.

Not Apple's fault you didn't buy a 32/64/128.

Although I agree with you, its a joke that they even offer 16GB.

I just had to have my usual fight with the fingerprint sensor to get my phone unlocked*. Hopefully that's the last time I'll have to deal with it but I'm not optimistic.




*Yes I know I can just use my passcode but it's the PRINCIPLE! Plus I'm insane.

Guys some of you guys know my question by now.. :cool:


Does Safari finally get Flash support? No, that would be terrible.

But it does seem a bit snappier...for whatever that is worth ;)

Yep, but it's not my fault Apple puts a mediocre 16 GB in their phones.
