This past Monday, Apple released an update to iOS 7. Last week, I wrote about Apple’s announcement of CarPlay — and like magic, here’s the update to support that.
Along with CarPlay, Apple has fixed bugs and enhanced its Touch ID for people who have the iPhone 5s. You’ll also notice that certain Apple apps received a facelift (check out phone calls as well as the keyboard).
Here’s a list of improvements:
- CarPlay
- Siri now knows when to stop listening
- Camera now automatically enables HDR on iPhone 5s
- Updated look and feel on certain apps (e.g. Phone)
- The ability to glance at events in the new Month view in Calendar
- Touch ID fingerprint recognition is improved.
- An occasional Home screen crash bug has been fixed.
- iPhone 4 users will enjoy improved responsiveness and performance.
If you haven’t already downloaded 7.1, I’d suggest doing so! It’s been reported that people who have the iPhone 4 are experiencing a much faster phone and it’s always good to keep your device as up to date as possible (cough Kali just updated to iOS 7 this past week cough!)
Editor’s Note: Roger that…I am finally an iOS 7 convert on my personal iPhone 5, and I love it. It was worth the wait to let the new look grow on me a bit, and make sure the kinks were worked out. -KH
