iOS 7.1 – The Best Apple software Yet?
Words: Violet
Six months after the eagerly anticipated iOS 7, today sees the release of the iOS 7.1 with new important re-designs, updates and changes. So what can people expect?
CARPLAY, SIRI AND THE ‘WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH’
Well, the software update sees to a few bugs that plagued the last system when using it on an iPad Air, iPhone 5S and iPad mini 2 so this alone makes it worth the download. Other improvement include the seeing away of the ‘white screen of death’ (when the white screen and the apple logo suddenly appear without any reason), the introduction of CarPlay which will allow users to play music, view maps, access messages and phone through the car using Siri or touch screen (so far this is only avalible on iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5 in Volvo XC90 SUVs, Mercedes-Benz C-Classes and Ferrari FFs) and design adjustments that include changes to the call and power off screens.
Lastly, is changes to our beloved Siri. The application will now be much easier to use and she will no longer cut you off mid request or question. Exciting, huh?
Though these are all minor changes and won’t cause as much of an uproar as when the iOS 7 was introduced (remember that?), they are all tweaks for the better. Get downloading the iOS 7.1 now.
