iOS 5.1 este disponibil de 5 zile prin intermediul iTunes si foarte multi utilizatori s-au grabit sa il instaleze si sa il testeze pe propriile dispozitive. Apple a mentionat destul de putine schimbari in noua versiune a sistemului de operare insa in realitate lista este destul de lunga pentru ca majoritatea modificarilor au fost prea mici pentru a fi luate in seama de toti utilizatorii. Mai jos v-am listat toate modificarile pe care Apple le-a implementat in iOS 5.1 atat pentru iDevice-uri cat si pentru noul Apple TV 3rd generation.
- Initial release on iPad (3rd generation)
- Enhanced Siri dictation support during text input “on supported devices” (iPhone 4S in 2011).
