    Just after the iOS 7.1 jailbreak…

  2. Kevin Noah - 10 years ago

    They released OSX 10.9.4 as well

    They should fix safari, on the Air IPad, it’s unstable and fat. 1GB but can only hold two websites in the memory without reloading.
    A shame , with my IPad one ,I used safari for 6hours a day :-) it never crashed.
    But with new IOS ‘s came instability.
    With IPad3 much less problems.
    Still my children use the first IPad.
    Come on Apple… Safari !

      I’m not sure what you’re doing, but my iPad Air is very reliable and fast and has never crashed on me. And I use it a lot.

      As for Safari only keeping “two web sites in memory”, that’s nuts. It caches like any other browser. And any web site that demands 1/2 a gig of ram is obviously doing something wrong. Very wrong.

      I think the problem may reside with the site you are visiting. No computer can overcome the bad behavior of lousy programmers. Just ask a programmer!!!

        My iPad Air has the same problem. I have two tabs open in Safari. When I switch between them they have to reload the page. Very disappointing.

    • Yes i feel it in my ipad 3rd gen….. It crashed or freezed unexpectedtly

    Sadly this one does not fix the “storage almost full” on older devices (iphone 4&4S, ipad 2&mini) when you use iTunes Match and the music app.
    I installed 7.1.2, reseted my ipad, killed all apps, restarted. 5.3GB free.
    I re activated iTunes Match, and played a playlist from iCloud. 1h later, I just got the message: “storage almost full”…
    :-(
    Re deactivating iTunes Match…

    Hope it fixes the crappy fingerprint uselessness that I’m experiencing lately. Not to mention the lags and screen hiccups. Reminds me of android Honeycomb. Anyway, updates are good.

    Hey it fixed my contacts app too: now yesterday wanted to add an extra e-mail address to a contact, several times tried, and Contacts became thus the only app on my iPhone 5s closing in a sudden when operating in. Yayyyy! :-\

  7. I tried to install this update yesterday and my phone stopped updating in the middle of the update. I had to recover the entire thing from Itunes. Please be carefull while updating. Take a backup of your phone in itunes.
