Apple has just released the latest beta update to iOS 7.1. Currently, the official 7.1 update is expected to drop sometime in March. Other than numerous backend improvements and bug fixes, Apple seems to be tweaking the interface as well. Developers who have had a chance to go over 7.1 list several screens that replace rectangular buttons with new circular ones. I guess they felt there simply wasn’t enough circles already. A few of the other changes that have been found are listed below;
- Parallax can be disabled for wallpapers
- Phone now has a new dialer and answer UI
- New Repeat and Shuffle buttons
- New power off UI
- New dialogue in Safari ‘Search or enter an address’ now reads ‘Search web or enter site name’
- New ‘New’ button for creating iTunes Radio stations in Music
- New reduce white point option in accessibility contrast settings
