Apple rolls out iOS 7.1 for iPhone and iPad

4.4
Today Apple released iOS 7.1, the software was made available for download a week shy of six months after iOS 7 itself. This latest software revision is compliant with iPhone 4 and up, iPad 2 and up, and iPod Touch 5th generation and up. iOS device users with compatible devices should now be able to head over to "Software Update" in their general settings area of their phone and start a over-the-air update.

CarPlay: formerly known as iOS in the Car, which supports iPhone calling, music, maps, and messaging. It also allows users to control certain functions through iOS' in-built voice-activated assistance Siri;

Siri improvements: Including natural-sounding voices for U.K. English, Australian English, Japanese, and Mandarin Chinese. You can also use it in push-to-talk mode by holding the Home button for the duration of your query;

Calendar changes: The list view has returned in month view, and the update has also included country-specific holidays added for many locales;

iTunes Radio updates: The radio feature, first introduced in iOS 7, has been updated with new features, including the ability to buy albums over-the-air from "Now Playing";

Accessibility additions: The "parallax" motion feature option now includes Weather, Messages, and multi-tasking user interface animations. New options have been added to allow users to display a darker keyboard;

Camera settings bolstered: Including a setting that allows users to automatically enable HDR mode for iPhone 5s users;

Touch ID improved: The software that controls the biometric reader has been improved to make fingerprint recognition better.ZDNET

I hate that the iPod 4th gen can not be updated to iOS 7. iOS 6.1.5 is the latest update for iPod touch 4th gen. iPhone 4 still gets iOS 7 updates but the 4th gen iPod touch doesn't, why is this? Oh right, yes, because Apple is a money grabbing company. Every few years, you have to update your iDevice to use it properly and Apple get more money. Not very customer friendly if you ask me.
