[Hito]

Hi Guys,

ios 8.1.1 has just been released... bug fixes and performance improvements for 4s and iPad 2!

If you jailbroken, stay away from this update

Thanks for the heads up. Hope it improves iPad 3 performance too.

Shot dude!
iPad mini 1st gen is just an ipad 2 in a baby's body. Hopefully it gets equal speed boosts.
Keen to hear how everyone's devices start running on 8.1.1

So why roll it out the other Apple products if it doesnt help them ? :/

Haven't noticed any major improvements on the iPad3. Haven't used it that much yet though.

Found auto rotation on iPad 3 has improved, also safari performance.
Generally feels a little faster on everything.

Apple don't have different builds for each device family for an OS version. But you don't have to install it if you don't want it.

And you also don't have to have an iphone or ipad if you don't want one either

iOS 8.1.1 is general bug fixes and improvements (for all devices), INCLUDING performance improvements to iPhone 4S and iPad 2. The latter is the update's major feature, so the way they describe and focus on it, makes it sound like it is for those two devices only. But it is not - it brings general fixes to all devices (I googled it).

If an update is really just meant for a certain device, they will say so explicitly and it will be labelled as such properly (think about iOS 7.0.1 and 7.0.5, which were meant for iPhone 5S and 5C only). Normally, other users can still download such an update, but it will definitely say "for xxx devices only"...which iOS 8.1.1 clearly doesn't do.

So what I'm trying to say is, this update is for all users, so go ahead and download it. The general feedback from users worldwide is positive. The other advantage of 8.1.1 for iPad users - it gives back some storage space, meaning the OS takes up less space. I can confirm, was shocked to see 8.1 taking up a full 1Gb more on my iPad Air, but got 400Mb back after updating to 8.1.1

Updated both my iPhone and iPad to 8.1.1 today so still too early to properly comment on battery life and general performance, but as mentioned, general feedback from all across the globe is positive so I don't foresee any problems. But if 8.1 was already working well for you and not making any trouble, you probably won't notice a difference.

Very informative, please post another update if you notice any improvements. I always hold out on the new updates until there is a strong consensus.
