Given the current state of Apple's servers, I think I'll wait!

I'm not going to download it until the 5.1 SDK is available as well.

It's a pretty large update & taking its time to install after verification. iPhone now on 'black screen + Apple + progress bar'.

iPad just got to verifying update......

EDIT - Updated without issue. Now having a play. The update to the iPad camera app just seems to be movement of the 'shutter' button to thumb position halfway up the right hand side of the screen....

I've installed it, and really like the camera always on the lock screen! I have no idea why they stupidly didn't do this from the start?

The iPhone has always been able to do this, that's why it says iPad... Seems like your looking for a reason to hate Apple

I want a 30 sec fast forward to skip adds tbh.

I like the implementation, just last week I must have hit camera while putting my locked phone in my pocket and drained the battery from 80 to 30 in an hour or so lol...

Tbh, yes i could always drag the timeline on podcasts, now i think about it. You are right, i just hate apple.

But i do really like i no longer need to faff about taking a photo when my phone is locked. I like i can slide up from the photo icon too Just seems easier than tapping (strange )

edit: hang on, was this not in the changelists?

In your favour, you have to deal with them as a developer, I haven't has to deal with that side of Apple, it could be dreadful for all I know...

I noticed it wasn't in the change list, it was a pleasant surprise after the update lol

The update is causing my iPad 1 to crash even more in Safari than it did before, and lose all my open tabs in the process

That's just Apple's 'friendly' way of tapping you on the shoulder and letting you know that it's time to upgrade
