Apple launches iOS 7.1 with aesthetic improvements and other news

iOS-7-1

After a long wait, Apple has finally released the new iOS 7 update. The new version 7.1 brings the aesthetic changes that we already knew from the previous Betas, and a large number of bug fixes and other improvements that promise to improve the performance of our devices, something that many users have been complaining about since the release of iOS 7 several months ago. But all of this comes at a price: You will not be able to Jailbreak your device if you update to this new iOS 7.1. Do you want to know what's new? We count them below. 

  • CarPlay: those vehicles equipped with this option will be able to use the screens integrated in their dashboard to view and control different functions of their iPhone, such as Messages, Music, Maps, Telephone and other third-party applications.
  • New option to communicate with Siri: press and hold the home button to speak and release it to let it know you're done. An alternative to the autodetection system that until now used by default.
  • New iTunes Radio options such as search and the possibility of contracting iTunes Match from your device.
  • New option to see the events in the monthly view of the calendar.
  • New accessibility options for the keyboard and calculator (bold), as well as the possibility of reducing movement in the Weather, Messages and Multitasking application.
  • Option to enable HDR mode automatically on iPhone 5s.
  • FaceTime notifications are removed when you reply from another device.
  • Touch ID improvements (iPhone 5s)
  • Interface improvements and bug fixes.

As you can see, it is not a minor update, but the improvements are enough, although many of them are limited to the iPhone 5s, or to a CarPlay system that is not yet available. ¿It pays to upgrade and lose the jailbreak? Everyone must make their decision based on their experience with iOS 7 and the use they make of the Jailbreak. What should be noted is that the possibility of updating to iOS 7.0.6 will be closed in a short time, perhaps hours. If you have not yet updated to 7.0.6, you have little time to do so.

    See you iOS 7.1!

  2.   Julian said

    Any rumors about JB for 7.1?

  3.   Talion said

    Well, it looks great, but I like CCSettings and the Cydia: C emulators enough to resign myself to losing them.

  4.   James said

    There was an article recently that talked about a tweak that prevented software updates, but I can't find the article. You can provide me with the name of said tweak, it would help me a lot as long as there is no jb for ios 7.1

  5.   James said

    What is the name of the tweak that prevents software updates, a month or more ago they published an article about that that now I can not find

  6.   Luis Padilla said

    If you have Jailbreak done, it cannot be updated via OTA, you can rest assured.

  7.   Luis Padilla said

    I think exactly the same. By now, by the time they've found something to jailbreak, we'll be close to launching the iOS 8 Beta, and hackers are sure to save their exploits for the new Fall iOS. Whoever wants to Jailbreak, do not update, or they will have to wait a long time.

  8.   iDrkseid said

    @ Jaime… If you mean the update via OTA, the jailbreak for iOS 7x itself blocks that option so you don't need any tweak…

  9.   Serrano said

    Still Apple signs 7.0.6?

    1.    Luis Padilla said

      No not anymore

  10.   Alberto said

    I'm going to update since it fixes bugs in the touch ID and so on ... I honestly think that for the Iphone 5S this update comes in handy!

  11.   Marco said

    Hello, how are you all? I have the iPhone 5s since it came out for the first time and so far I have not had a problem with the touch ID, I use it all the time, could you tell me what is the problem with the touch ID? Maybe I did not notice any other defect, so far everything is fine.
    Thank you

    1.    Sergio said

      It does not have to have any errors that are important, since the touch iD can have individual errors, problems with the hardware of each device, the errors mentioned are usually fingerprint recognition failures, but to me as you never It has happened to me, but other users have.

      1.    Marco said

        OK, Thanks Sergio ..

      2.    funai said

        Well, it has given me a problem, but more than a problem in itself it is an inconvenience, since there are times that it does not work when unlocking the iphone, but it is solved by blocking it with the code and when you lock it again it works, I don't know if it's worth losing the jailbreak for that ...

  12.   Alberto blazdimir said

    Well, is it true that it improves the performance of the iPhones 4?

    1.    sersilva94 said

      If it improves it, a lot. It seems different if the battery lasts now longer than before

      1.    Alberto blazdimir said

        That's fine thanks.

  13.   funai said

    Anyway, I am the only one who thinks that Apple will have left us some "pull" in this update as always happens? More than anything, in case a jailbreak comes out, close it with an update that, I don't know, fix problems that the battery lasts for a short time, for example ... (Call me crazy ...)

  14.   jordi said

    but you have a tweak called no update that prevents someone from updating it by mistake

  15.   FJ @ vi3rG said

    Very nice more and more with iPhone 5 is great.

  16.   Moyano said

    I don't like the effect it does when multitasking

  17.   mgn66 said

    Software update killer so you can't update

  18.   desk said

    I have an iPhone 4 and without parallax effects, I'm not doing so badly as to sacrifice the JB. If it would be something new, I don't know, like Siri for iPhone 4 yes, but for that.

  19.   flcantonium said

    Indeed Pod2g, on behalf of the Evad3rs team, confirms that they will not release any update for iOS 7.1, and that they will begin to focus on iOS 8, but this and according to their words, does not imply that any independent team is working on a jailbreak for iOS 7.1

    That said, it is clear that if you want to jailbreak your iphone, DO NOT UPDATE, hahahaha, as they say, YOU ARE WARNED.

    regards

    Hello people, what is CCsettings? as they refer to Cydia emulators. Anyone have any idea why every time I open Cydia it throws a lot of errors in its loading? I think it's like loading certain repos wrong. I get everything in yellow. others in Red. I want it to charge normally.

    1.    Talion said

      CCSettings is a Cydia tweak that allows you to have more access to your control center (for example restart the device, delete apps in the background, turn on / off 3G or data plan, etc). Cydia emulators like FBA, iMame, Snes9x allow you to play Roms of classic super nintendo games or arcade machines from the past (cadillacs & dinosaurs, final fight, captain commmando, etc). Regarding your problem with the repositories, I don't know what it could be, maybe someone here knows why. 😉

  21.   Billy said

    Forget to clarify I have a 4gb 64S with IOS 7.0.6 and jalbreack

  22.   Mauro said

    Does the battery last longer at least? On my iPhone 5s, thanks to the jailbreak, I achieved a good duration and it is excellent, I don't see why to lose the jailbreak. The touch id is perfect for me, I am a little afraid that it will be ruined because supposedly in versions prior to ios 7.1 the touch id wears out, but hey, for now I'm sticking with the jailbreak.

    Possibly as they have already done, release a tweak with news of ios 7.1 in cydia, to wait ...

  23.   israelzc said

    Apparently Apple didn't fix the gray wifi bug on the iPhone 4s.
    Too bad they ignore their customers like this (according to what is most important to them).

  24.   Daniel Merling said

    my corduroy israelzc iphone 4s gray error is a hardware problem not a software problem greetings

  25.   william dena said

    Not from you, but this version (7.1) is worse than the previous one, I have a 5 silver iPhone 32s, I found that they changed the keyboard, the phone icons and messages, the above aesthetic changes that are a step backwards since They look more like iOS 6, but to finish grinding it, in my case, when unlocking the terminal or exiting an app, in the zoom out effect it has a bug, a dark spot, I already tried to change the background to a standard one and the same, I'll see if restoring it composes.

  26.   Eric said

    I passed it to IOS 7.1 and it does not bring the option to change the color of the keyboard or the calculator, if someone you know then help me Ok. Thanks

  27.   SOL said

    Hello, update via ota today and after using it for a long time without problems, strangely I got the blank screen with the little black apple in the middle, and after a few seconds it returned to the application where it was, which was Twitter ... this did not me it had never happened ... does anyone know something, why or if I should do something for prevention?

  28.   Carlos said

    Does anyone know if 25PP and Tongbu still support iOS 7.1 to install paid apps without jailbreak?

  29.   David said

    someone knows if it solves the fever and the low battery life my iphone is 4s and it stayed like that since I updated to 7.0.6 greetings

  30.   Albertito said

    Eric… Make it «bold» change color NO

  31.   Pedro said

    I am having problems with the 3G connection with my iPhone 4s recently updated to IOS 7.1, apart from saying that the fluidity of the system is quite noticeable

  32.   alvaro said

    Does anyone know why the dock and folders appear with a gray background and not with the wallpaper that I have configured?

    Thank you

    1.    william said

      you must configure in accessibility that the buttons do not have a background!

      1.    fernanda said

        Could you explain better how to do it? and because that part was misconfigured when updating the iphone

    2.    ferbabda said

      I get the same, and I have not found how to fix it, if you fixed it please help me

  33.   Olivier said

    Let's see, where do I start? This update seems to me sincerely a slop, I've always been a fan of the jailbreak but I also liked iOS 7 since I had it with the first beta, but iOS 7.1 was a lot of expectation with little change, the few graphic changes seem horrible to me, and hardly I installed it, the phone began to heat up, which I hate, and honestly, like many others I've read, Touch ID worked wonderfully for me, I don't know what recognition improvement they made. I do notice that they corrected some bugs but I have not had it for two hours and I am already seeing 4 errors that there were not before. For me it is not worth it, unless you have an iPhone 4 for the issue of fluidity. Greetings

  34.   Jesus said

    Hello, please I need a little help.
    I have my iPhone 4 with iOS 7.0.6 and with jailbreak done, and the Mail, Safari and Weather apps do not work for me.
    They open, but a few thousandths later they close automatically.
    I do not know why it is, and since they are applications that I use every day, I need your help.
    Of course, updating to iOS 7.1 would not be a great option.
    Please, is urgent.
    Thank you very much.

      IT IS CORRECTED WITH MY IFILE FROM CYDIA BUCA HOW TO CORRECT THE ERROR THROUGH IFILE YOU HAVE TO DELETE SOME THINGS I JUST DO NOT REMEMBER HOW

  35.   Gabriela said

    I regret having updated. The icons of the contacts when they call you are a thumbnail, when before the photo was displayed on the entire screen.
    Likewise, the icons for the options to answer have been reduced in size.
    He had no mistakes before and now he gets hot and when I mark he goes speechless and suddenly the person you called talks to you. His would have way to reverse the update would.

  36.   angel came said

    The update of IOS7.1 is very cool but the only thing that is not
    I liked the keyboard in bold, it was more father with the thin letters, but it is said that you can change the keyboard in black, how is it done? or is it not done?

  37.   Kevin Rojas said

    I have already had enough problems with the application of notifications. When I add one, it suddenly erases itself. If I finish writing a reminder and I want to write another, it's impossible, it won't let me. Sometimes when I mark one as done by mistake and uncheck it, it no longer unchecks and stays that way. Does anyone know how to solve it and by the way if you can explain why the video camera does not record audio? while the voice recorder works fine and the other applications that need the phone are fine

  39.   Nicolas said

    I need help, I update my iPhone 5 to 7.1, and I notice that when I open the apps it does not open immediately as soon as I press the button of the app, as it thinks for a microsecond and then it opens it, before it did not happen to me, it just opened it to me I pressed it, I already restored it from the iPhone and also from iTunes and it remains the same, please help me, it is something annoying

  40.   Xavi. said

    My iphone 4 from the 7.1 update after a day started to heat up a lot and the battery ran out for only 3 hours and with hardly any manipulation of the phone. I went to Apple and they told me to restore the phone without backup, I did it and now it works great for me. Greetings.
