AngularJS - Do I need $scope.$apply when using $http

Question

Do I need to call $scope.$apply when I make an ajax call using $http ?

Looks like it isn't needed because my code still works, and when I used JQuery ajax I needed to call apply or it didnt work.

So just to be completely sure, can I skip the apply calls now?

With AngularJS version 1.1.x you will need to add Scope.$apply if triggering $http calls outside of the AngularJS $digest cycle.
