Ios 6.1 Now Available

[Jimi007]

I just tuned on my iPod touch and there was an update for iOS 6.1 available. Installing now.

Mostly security patches.

I doubt its all security patches, they always put in a lot of bugfixes too without mentioning them explicitly.

Anyone have battery issues after the patch? I've read online that it's safer to do a restore in iTunes and then recover from backup vs. the incremental update. Doing that now, tested this morning, I had 4% / hour battery drain without using the phone after the 6.1 update.

Battery depends on many things of course and wasn't great before but I I'll check and see if a full restore helps.

No battery issues with 6.1 plus the JB, but then I restored the firmware in iTunes then restored a backup.

You should also bear in mind that those OTA updates usually mean that you can't restore an old firmware using blobs (assuming the devs find a way to restore 6.x after the window closes), so you're probably safer using an iTunes restore anyway.

And the upgrade requires you to reenter your Apple ID password.

And if you can't remember it, the service to retrieve it isn't working - possibly under the load.

Grrrr.
