iOS 7.1 is worth upgrading for its features and fixes

Gossips came out to be true. Apple has released iOS 7.1 before March 11th.

Official list of changes is huge:

  • CarPlay

    • Now you can experience all benefits of iOS design in your vehicle
    • Just connect iPhone in you car with CarPlay support
    • There is support for Phone, Music, Maps and Messages. Audio apps from 3rd party developers are also supported.
    • Added support for controlling CarPlay using Siri, touch screens, control buttons inside car
  • Siri

    • Now you can control manually when Siri must stop listening. Control is done by holding “Home” button while user is speaking. Releasing button stops listening. This scenario is alternative to existing one. That is, when Siri automatically notices when users stops talking.
    • Added new, more natural sound of male and female voices for Mandarin Chinese, British and Australian English, and Japanese languages.
  • iTunes Radio

    • Introduced search field. It allows to easily create a station based on favorite artist or song
    • Now you can subscribe to iTunes Match from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices. This will allow you to listen to iTunes Radio ads-free.
    • You can buy albums by touching a button on “Now Playing” screen.
  • Calendar

    • Added display of events on month overview screen
    • New function to automatically display holidays  in selected countries
  • Universal Access

    • Bold font setting is now applied to keyboard, calculator and some icon glyphs
    • Reduce motion parameter is now applied to Weather.app, Messages.app and multi tasking interface animations
    • Added parameters for displaying buttons, shadows in apps and reducing temperature color
  • HDR can now be permanently enabled in Camera.app on iPhone 5S
  • Added support for iCloud Keychain in several more countries
  • Added feature to automatically clear FaceTime notifications when you answer call on a different device
  • Fixed issue of unresponsive home screen
  • Increased quality of recognizing fingerprints using Touch ID
  • Improved performance of iPhone 4. Hooray!
  • Fixed label display of Mail.app when number of unread messages is larger than 10, 000
  • Implemented new interface improvements

Yes, you should upgrade this time. We advised you not to upgrade two times already. Earlier, minor versions of iOS were not really worth spending the time. iOS 7.1 is another deal here. It introduces more features than expected. And it also fixes actual bugs and poor performance on iPhone 4 and 4S.
