SOFTWARE DEVELOPER Apple has released iOS 7.1 to developers, adding a bunch of minor changes to its mobile operating system.
iOS 7.1, build number 11D5099e, is available for registered iOS developers to download from Apple's Developer Center, with a full rollout likely before the end of 2013.
Cult of Mac has highlighed all of the main changes in Apple's iOS 7.1, and there's nothing included that is likely to change your life. However, there are some subtle tweaks that might be welcomed by iPhone and iPad users.
Among these updates is a new toggle for the 'dark keyboard' in the accessibility settings, allowing users to permanantely switch to Apple's redesigned keyboard layout. iOS 7.1 also brings improved contrasts to the accessibility menu, a switch that darkens the entire interface, adding darker backgrounds to folders, and deepening the background on the dock.
A new high dynamic range (HDR) Auto mode is also included in the iOS 7.1 beta, a feature that automatically chooses the best photo from your HDR image, alongside the ability to save Burst Mode images to Photo Stream and a redesigned Flickr logo that matches the overall 'flat' look of iOS 7.
Notifications is the final aspect of the software to get a refresh in iOS 7.1, with Apple reportedly making it easier to clear notifications and updating the menu dialog.
Beyond that, there's not much to report yet, other than the usual improvements and bug fixes.
If speculation is to be believed, iOS 7.1 will arrive on your iPhone or iPad in time for Christmas. Apple has yet to confirm this. µ
