Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 28 Jan 2013 10:33 User comments (4)

Apple has released their next major update for iOS today, version 6.1.

The update is available to iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, and Apple TV users and is available OTA.

Apple states that the following have been updated, added or improved (via 9to5):

LTE support for more carriers (Apple previously announced that it would add more LTE carriers this week). 36 additional iPhone carriers. 23 additional iPad carriers.

Purchase movie tickets through Fandango via Siri (US only)

iTunes Match subscribers can now download individual songs from iCloud

New button to reset the Advertising Identifier.

Finally, Apple TV users will also finally receive Bluetooth keyboard compatibility.

Apple's Phil Schiller was quick to call iOS 6 the most popular version of the OS, yet: "Nearly 300 million iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices on iOS 6 in just five months, it may be the most popular new version of an OS in history."

But they couldn't include a new feature to keep the mindless haters from hating it.

And apparently they cannot leave out enough features to keep the brainwashed sheep from loving it and lining up to get a new one every new iGadget release.

Oh and BTW I have an iPhone 4S and while it is a good device it is still just a stupid phone that does pretty much the sme thing other stupid phones do.

Well, it definitely takes the same type of infantile mindset to be a hater as it does to be a fanboy.

	Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm In out in-depth review of Roborock Saros Z70 we put the robot vacuum through a 3 month test period, where we observed its work in normal home. The sci-fi -like arm of Z70 was a little bit disappointing, due its limited functionality.
	Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing. 1 user comment
	Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
