iOS 7 vs iOS 7.1: What's new?
Apple has released iOS 7.1 for the iPhone and iPad and we've been tracking the changes to the new update since they first started appearing in the betas for developers to test.
Unlike iOS 7, iOS 7.1 is not be a completely new OS update. It therefore isn't rolling out with any mind-blowing features, though it does bring a ton of user-interface tweaks, visual enhancements and performance fixes.
Key to the new update are CarPlay, changes to Siri, iTunes Radio, Calendar, some accessibility changes, and smaller tweaks like FaceTime call notifications are automatically cleared when you answer a call on another device.
Apple has just published an entire page dedicated to spelling out the changes and features buried within iOS 7.1. In fact, the page starts off with the following description:
"iOS 7.1 is packed with interface refinements, bug fixes, improvements, and new features. Apple CarPlay introduces a better way to use iPhone while driving. And you can now control exactly how long Siri listens and more. Getting the update is easy. Go to Settings. Select General. And tap Software Update."
We will be updating this article as we find new tweaks. If you spot any yourself please let us know in the comments below.
