Apple is rumoured to be preparing to launch iOS 7.1 in the next few days, ahead of the launch of an exclusive app designed to stream content from the South-by-Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas.
The latest software update for Apple's iPhone,iPad, iPod Touch and Apple TV products, iOS 7.1 is expected to include numerous improvements over its predecessors. Primarily a bug-fix release, previously promised changesinclude a more unified appearance, the resolution of several system crash bugs, and a fix for the iPhone 5S TouchID 'fade' issue which sees fingerprint recognition become increasingly less accurate the older the registration data.
Although rumours had suggested that the beta process was finished and iOS 7.1 ready to release, Apple has not yet offered a formal launch date. An anonymous source speaking to Daring Fireball, however, indicated that the software will be out in the next few days in order to support an iOS 7.1-only application built to stream content from the iTunes Festival at SXSW. Without the update, the source suggests the as-yet unreleased app won't work - and with the iTunes Festival starting next week, that puts a firm deadline on Apple's update schedule.
It's currently unknown whether iOS 7.1 will contain a fix for handsets experiencingconstant reboots and crashes, as although Apple promised an update as far back as January it has yet to arrive.
