Yes, Another iOS Update. Meet iOS 8.1
Just when you were getting settled in with iOS 8.0, Apple released two quick updates – iOS 8.0.1 and 8.0.2. Guess what? Yesterday, Apple released iOS 8.1. Yes…seriously!
iOS 8.1 isn’t just for bug fixes though, it actually contains new features and some changes. What are those new features? Well let’s take a look…

Apple Pay is Apple’s mobile payment service that will let users pay for goods at retailers and restaurants using iOS devices. Apple Pay essentially replaces traditional credit and debit cards using near field communication (NFC) technology. Transactions are authorized with the Touch ID fingerprint sensor and Passbook.
The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, iPad Air 2 and Mini 3, and Apple Watch, which are NFC-enabled devices, can be used to pay for products in stores with Apple Pay. If you have an older iOS device like the iPhone 5, iPhone 5C or iPhone 5S, iPad Air, then you will be able to use Apple Pay in stores only by pairing it with the NFC-enabled Apple Watch (available early 2015).
Apple stated that 220,000 retail locations now support Apple Pay with thousands of more on the way.
where can i get isotretinoin SMS Texting from any Apple Device
Prior to iOS 8.1, the only devices that could send SMS standard text messages (to non iOS devices) was the iPhone (unless you installed 3rd party apps). Now, iOS devices running 8.1 and Macs running Mac OS X Yosemite will be able to send and receive SMS/MMS text messages from your iPad or Mac through your iPhone. In the chat bubbles, Apple distinguishes iMessages (to and from other iOS devices) with blue backgrounds and standard SMS messages with green backgrounds.
Instant Hotspot
If your iPad or Mac are not in WiFi range, they can connect to the personal hotspot on your iPhone if it is close by. Your iPhone’s name will appear in the list of WiFi networks in the Settings on your iPad and WiFi menu on your Mac.
Instant Hotspot will work the same on your iPad if it has a cell data card installed and hotspot service via your cell provider.
iCloud Photo Library
The iCloud Photo Library allows iOS users to save photos and videos to their iCloud account. If this feature is enabled, smaller versions of your photos are stored on your iOS device to save storage space. Your iCloud Photo Library will be accessible through any iOS device or through the iCloud website.
Keep in mind, you will be using much more iCloud storage space, and may require a storage upgrade, since your photos and movies will all be store in Apple’s cloud.
Your Mac will be able to sync your to and from your iCloud Photo Library in a future release of the OS X Photos app.
You still have the option to sync your photos using iClouds Photo Stream.
Other Changes
The Photos app in iOS 8.0 replaced the Camera Roll with a section called “Recently Added.” The “Recently Added” section includes photos and videos that were taken within the last month. In 8.1, Apple brought back the Camera Roll and My Photo Stream due to a negative response from users about the change. (I personally appreciate the change back to the Camera Roll)

There you go. I hope you learned something new today. If you did, pat yourself on the back, say “Yipee”, and go show off to your family and friends. You deserve it!
