Apple rolls out iOS 7.1 for iPhone and iPad

4.4
Today Apple released iOS 7.1, the software was made available for download a week shy of six months after iOS 7 itself. This latest software revision is compliant with iPhone 4 and up, iPad 2 and up, and iPod Touch 5th generation and up. iOS device users with compatible devices should now be able to head over to "Software Update" in their general settings area of their phone and start a over-the-air update.

CarPlay: formerly known as iOS in the Car, which supports iPhone calling, music, maps, and messaging. It also allows users to control certain functions through iOS' in-built voice-activated assistance Siri;

Siri improvements: Including natural-sounding voices for U.K. English, Australian English, Japanese, and Mandarin Chinese. You can also use it in push-to-talk mode by holding the Home button for the duration of your query;

Calendar changes: The list view has returned in month view, and the update has also included country-specific holidays added for many locales;

iTunes Radio updates: The radio feature, first introduced in iOS 7, has been updated with new features, including the ability to buy albums over-the-air from "Now Playing";

Accessibility additions: The "parallax" motion feature option now includes Weather, Messages, and multi-tasking user interface animations. New options have been added to allow users to display a darker keyboard;

Camera settings bolstered: Including a setting that allows users to automatically enable HDR mode for iPhone 5s users;

Touch ID improved: The software that controls the biometric reader has been improved to make fingerprint recognition better.ZDNET

The only changes I've noticed GUI related, for example the new power off slider. Pretty neat.

daRealRush I absolutely hate iOS 7. I wish I didn't update to it. I really liked iOS 6 better.


I was the same way. I love the new block contact feature on IOS 7 though.


I despised iOS 6 because it was practically identical to every iOS before it. I got bored of 3, 4, 5, and 6.


Well I think Apple is just lazy too be honest every iPhone lately has been a remake of the older version.


I laughed way more than I think I needed to, read your comment again, and then reply.


I don't know what is so funny about it, it is the truth the 3 is the 4, the 3s is the 4s, and they are all the 5.


not even a bit. I bet you don't own one. read the feature notes on each product on apple, you'll be blown away how incorrect you were back there :P


I have a brother-in-law that owns one and it is terrible he has the 4s before and he said the 5 sucks, it is just terrible.
