Updating my iPhone 4S to iOS 6.1

I just had my iPhone updated to iOS 6.1. The latest version had modest updates which include enabling of LTE support for more carriers (applicable to iPhone 5 only), purchasing of movie tickets through Fandango with Siri (USA only), iTunes Match subscribers can now download individual songs from iCloud and there's a new button to reset the Advertising Identifier. I find the update very decent in a couple of day's use and it seems to have fixed a lot of bugs one of which includes the autolock when assistive touch is enabled. It also made an update on the music controls when your device is locked giving it a brush metal look. Here are some snapshots I've taken on my iPhone while updating to iOS 6.1.

Availability of the software update and release notes

Terms and conditions and downloading the update


Preparing the update and installation

Verifying the software update. After the installation, it prompted me with the welcome screen again.

Confirmation of successful update and setting up some configurations again like iCloud

Completed configuration and received a notification for a Carrier Settings Update. I'm only on an iPhone 4S so I don't have LTE but 3G network may have improved with iOS 6.1.

Minor change on the music playback controls in the lock screen giving it a brushed metal finish. There seems to be a lot of white space though.
