    There was an issue where if you accept/decline a calendar invite from iOS, it would **** up everything. Made you creator; if you chose to decline it would delete the entire event; etc.

    hmm interesting. I just switched from the stock calendar app today to Sunrise, but you need a Facebook to log in (even though you can connect LinkedIn and Google calendar to it)

    Yeah, it caused havoc in our organisation due to the popularity of iPhones as both business and personal phones. It was almost comical, almost depressive..

    Nobody has any real expectations Apple will fix this bug for real. This is what, their fourth try? I wish Apple would stop hiring fashion designers and hire real technical experts.

    There's talk that the passcode glitch was quietly fixed in this update.

    Hmm I heard it was not. Interesting though. I am not surprised why they didn't state it in the release notes... so that people wouldn't know you could exploit this if they came in contact with it.

    My wife has tried to update but she keeps getting a message her phone is not connected to WiFi! I am wondering if the problem is with the Apple servers.

    The battery drain is worse since I loaded 6.1.2 last night on 4Gs.

    I havent been on 4G since the patch. I guess I will see today! I really hope they fix the inconsistencies with Verizon and the iPhone since I get 2G where my friends get 4G with AT&T (iPhone issue)

    Is it connected to WiFi though? I was reading elsewhere that AT&T? wasn't pushing this out over the cell networks. If you are connected to WiFi and it still won't work, you can update it through iTunes but then it goes from a few meg download to over a gig because it downloads the whole iOS.

    Yeah, not big, unless you did the update through iTunes, then it dls the entire iOS, so it jumps to something like 1.1GB. So that isn't an ideal method to upgrade, but it should work when OTA/WiFi updates fail.

    Ah I was wondering why it was so huge in iOS vs through the device.
