Apple Launched iOS 7.1

                               iOS 7.1
The most advanced mobile OS keeps advancing.

As the punch line suggest Apple launched its OS update recently.Today we are going to talk about its feature and whats new in it.

Enable HDR Auto

iOS 7 had an awful bug that caused devices to constantly disable HDR each time the camera app was closed. In iOS 7.1, Apple repented for its annoying mistake by introducing a new “HDR Auto” setting on the iPhone 5s that will monitor the surrounding lighting conditions and enable or disable HDR automatically.

To enable this great new feature, simply tap “HDR On” or “HDR Off” at the top of the screen with the camera open. Then select “HDR Auto” and you’ll never have to think about it again.

Automatically enable HDR on iPhone 5s.

New visibility options

Apple’s iOS platform is a clear leader when it comes to accessibility options for the disabled. There is no close second. For those with relatively minor vision problems though, some accessibility features in iOS 7 were a bit drastic.

In iOS 7.1, Apple has addressed one such issue by adding new fine-tuned options for increasing the contrast on the screen of your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

Go to Settings > General > Accessibility and tap “Increase Contrast.” You’ll now find three separate options in iOS 7.1.

“Reduce Transparency” will remove all of the transparency effects in areas including the home screen dock, folder backgrounds, the Control Center and the Notification Center.

“Darken Colors” will do just that: Darken all of the colors on the device’s display to make them more visible.

Finally, “Reduce White Point” will make whites on the screen less bright, which is another way to improve visibility.

Design

Nothing they have ever created has been designed just to look beautiful. That’s approaching the opportunity from the wrong end. Instead, as they reconsidered iOS, their purpose was to create an experience that was simpler, more useful, and more enjoyable — while building on the things people love about iOS. Ultimately, redesigning the way it works led them to redesign the way it looks. Because good design is design that’s in service of the experience.

Siri Updated

Earlier it was a problem that Siri stopped listening after some period of time to fix that now you can manually control it. By holding down the Home button while you speak and releasing it when you’re done.

Accessibility built in.

iOS includes a variety of accessibility features that help people with disabilities experience more of what iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch have to offer. The built-in VoiceOver screen reader allows those who are blind or have low vision to hear a description of the item they’re touching on the screen. With Guided Access, you can restrict an iOS device to one app by disabling the Home button, and even limit touch input to certain areas of the screen. Which can be helpful to people with autism or other attention and sensory challenges. And Switch Control gives individuals with limited physical or motor skills complete control of their device through switch access. iOS also offers many other beneficial accessibility features, such as dynamic screen magnification, playback of closed-captioned video, mono audio, simplified screen gestures, and more.
