No. Working fine!

Basically this update sucks! No need to update.

gamerscul9870 - March 10, 2015 at 4:01pm

I find this update perfect than ever before! Nothing wrong even from testing out what Apple had fixed!

The update puts a watch icon on your screen that you can't get rid of, didn't you learn from the U2 album that people don't like you sticking stuff on their phones that they can't remove

gamerscul9870 - March 10, 2015 at 1:54am

Did you not search a video over removing the album, plus I updated but didn't get the icon, but why remove it? It's like wanting safari off when it was made for Apple products. It's just an icon.

Good. With no Essential OS improvements, there's little need to worry about not having a JB. I'll upgrade my watch, but leave my iPhone on the earlier JB version.

You do realize there were mentioned a while back on bug fixes right? When it comes to an updated version of iOS #.1/2, why would Apple makes a new version for nothing other than adding more functionality?

Apple me - March 10, 2015 at 3:53am

Apple makes a new version for one thing, fixing jailbreak exploits and vulnerabilities. that's all

gamerscul9870 - March 10, 2015 at 4:05am

Apple makes new version of things with add one like never before done and patches jailbreaks that are broken. They're sometimes a step ahead of the jb community, but better yet, they make new ways to do things that changes everything. Like Apple pay! That's all by far.
