With every new I-phone software update comes the potential for problems and the iOS 7.1 released on Monday is no exception.

Customer's say it's killing their phone batteries among other pesky glitches.

The iOS7.1 is the first major update to Apple's newest operating systems for iPhones and iPads and the apple community is lamenting poor battery charges, disappearing contacts, bad Bluetooth connections, keyboards oriented the wrong way, and the list goes on, reports the Huffington Post.

I overheard at church yesterday a conversation an iPhone user was having. She was already looking into a new phone (Samsung Galaxy, I think). She used to love that iPhone when she got it.

I wonder if this is what is prompting her to switch over.

Yep, my iPad is behaving badly since the last update. I'm tired of these "improvements."

I get the sense of deja vu here.

The same things that have been happening after Steve Jobs left Apple the first time are now happening again since he died. Except this time, it's not Microsoft taking the market share; it's Google (Android).
