iOS 7.1

Zcott

Developer beta out now on the dev portal. Seems a bit odd, usually the .x releases have a few features but it seems the only one here is a dark keyboard and reduced contrast (as options).

Saw that yesterday on Redmond pie. Is there any support for new carriers on 4g?

The Ayatolla

Surely we'll FINALLY get 4G???

If anyone has any joy updating to 7.1 then let us know!

Edit - Downloading the BETA now. I'm not in a 4G area at the moment, but hoping when I go to "Cellular" settings it has 4G options there. That should be the give-away.

I would imagine that won't come until the GM build of 7.1.

Also, would you not need a 4G sim for that to be an option to show?

people with 5S' on meteor/eMobile will have these.

I've an eMobile SIM that I got on a 4G ready plan in an unlocked iPhone 5s bought from Apple.

Haven't got a chance to install 7.1. Cant find a reliable site to download it from. Doh. Be another day or two maybe.

Very buggy. When in certain apps, if I pull down notifications bar it has to reload the home screen.

Nope!

I'm living in a 4G area and no 4G options under "Cellular".

Using an unlocked device bought from Apple.

Like someone said above it probably won't be in the beta.

Yep looks that way holding it back until the Golden Master release or official launch.

Carrier update today giving 4G toggle on Vodafone for 5S & 5C. Apple have also approved Meteor for 5, 5S & 5C - No sign of Vodafone on the 5 list. http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/

Mine doesn't either. Paying €47 before added charges a month on the Vodafone €35 base plan. Need to upgrade to the €60 plan before I can get access to 4G. Disappointing stuff.

guil

Bit disappointed being on the highest plan with eMobile and not getting it.

The way it should be. Don't know why I signed up for a new 24 month contract in November without waiting for 4G price plans.

Im on the unlimited calls texts + 4G data with emobile. iPhone 5, got the update. Just outside Cork City not getting any 4G may just be outside the 4G reach, or do I need to get a new sim? Can iPhone 5 use the 4G bands in Cork?

I assume you were get getting a new phone at the time?

I'm on a €30 + €10 add ons tarrff. I assume Vodafone would have no problem someone paying less opting to move to their "Red" tarrif for €55 a month (without signing another 2 year contract).

4G would need to be pretty damn special to be worth €15 extra a month, though.

iPhone 5 works in certain areas around the country. 5c and 5s works in all 4G enabled areas. It's to do with Meteor using different frequency bands in different areas.

Carrier update for 4G on Three UK came in today as well.

Yeah I could upgrade to the "4G ready" plan but it's only €55 for the first three months. €60 per month thereafter. Then I sacrifice the ability to keep my bill at €35 a month if my usage ever drops.

I could be wrong - but I think it's only €60 pm after if you keep your subscription to Spotify.

But yeah, I'd give it a go for a month or two as long if I could revert. Vodafone are unlikely to allow you move up tariff without a commitment, however.

I believe it. It's 4g!

That's a bit crap in fairness

Cork - by Marymount. Unreal speeds.

Deep Thought

VF threw out a carrier update today, am using iPhone 5

It may include a 4G piece but AFAIK the iPhone 5 is not supported, only the S & C, so cant see the changes.
