Apple has released a new beta version of their mobile OS for developers, Apple iOS 7.1 Beta 5, which comes just a couple of weeks after the release of Apple iOS 7.1 beta 4.
Apple iOS 7.1 beta 5 apparently comes with a number of visual changes over the last release, which includes a new design for the shift key on the Apple keyboard.
Visual and Functional Enhancements
There are also changes to wallpaper in the latest version, providing users with more customization options to personalize their devices. Additionally, iTunes Radio has seen some significant updates. The app now comes with a ‘buy album’ button, making it easier for users to purchase entire albums directly from the app. Furthermore, you can also purchase the individual song that is playing directly from the app, streamlining the user experience and making it more convenient to acquire music.
Another notable update in iOS 7.1 beta 5 is the introduction of new voices for Siri in several regions, including Australia, the UK, Japan, and China. These new voices aim to provide a more natural and localized experience for users in these countries, enhancing the overall functionality of Siri as a virtual assistant.
Additional Updates and Improvements
In addition to the visual and functional enhancements, there are some minor changes to the calendar and AirDrop features. The calendar app has been tweaked to improve usability and navigation, making it easier for users to manage their schedules. AirDrop, Apple’s file-sharing feature, has also received some minor updates to enhance its performance and reliability.
We previously heard that Apple iOS 7.1 would be released to the public in March, although as MacRumors points out, the release could be sooner than that and it could see it land before the end of February. This accelerated timeline suggests that Apple is confident in the stability and performance of the new update, and is eager to get it into the hands of users as soon as possible.
As soon as we get some more information on exactly when Apple will release Apple iOS 7.1 we will let you guys know. The anticipation for this update is high, as it promises to bring a host of new features and improvements that will enhance the overall user experience on iOS devices.
