So, Apple released iOS 8.1.3 to the world. It brings with it a bunch of fixes including:
- A fix for an issue that prevented some users from entering their Apple ID passwords for Messages and FaceTime
- A fix for a bug that caused Spotlight to stop displaying app results
- A fix for a problem that prevented multitasking gestures from working on the iPad.
- It reduces the amount of storage space required to perform an iOS update…. Which I am guessing has something to do with this lawsuit.
- It adds new configuration options for education standardized testing.
So in the interest of being able to report the results to you, I downloaded and installed this update a few minutes ago. For the first time since iOS 8 hit, I was able to update over the air without having to delete some of the contents of my iPhone 5S to do it. Not only that, after the update I had 1.3GB free which is almost double the free space I had going in. That alone makes this update worth the price of admission. I also notice that some weird user interface glitches that were pervasive are absent. I will continue testing and post my results. But if you have any feedback, please post a comment and share your experiences.
UPDATE: I note that Continuity works more consistently. Other than that, I haven’t noticed anything else other than a prompt for the iCloud Photos beta.
