The “Reduce Motion” option in the Accessibility part of the Settings (Settings -> General -> Accessibility) will turn off zooming and movement in the Weather app, Messages app and the multitasking user interface animations. One accessibility tweak deals with the complaints that some users had about getting “motion sickness” from iOS 7’s “zoom” effects.

Early reactions, such as Jon Moltz’s, suggest that iPhone 4 performance has improved. While iOS 7.0 did work on the iPhone 4, some effects such as translucency were turned off to save processing power, and apps launched more slowly, according to benchmarks by Ars Technica. Some users have found that recognition is inconsistent Apple’s page for the update effectively acknowledges this, saying “Touch ID fingerprint recognition is improved”.Īpple also says that “iPhone 4 users” - using phones which may date back to June 2010 - “will enjoy improved responsiveness and performance”. After a few seconds, the phone would return to its “locked screen” state - indicating that it had not rebooted completely, but that the Springboard app had crashed.Īnother improvement listed by Apple is to Touch ID, its fingerprint recognition system built into the iPhone 5S. Some users of iOS 7 found that their screen would abruptly show a black Apple icon on a white screen for a couple of seconds while they were using an app.

One of the key improvements consists of fixes to “Springboard”, the background app which controls the home screen and the behaviour of background apps. The update, of around 270MB, is available for free over the air. The update fixes a number of complaints that people had had around iOS 7, whose interface was completely revamped from its predecessor released in September 2012, in a crash project led by chief designer Jonathan Ive and software chief Craig Federighi following their promotion in October 2012 as chief executive Tim Cook fired Scott Forstall, who had overseen all iOS development from before the first iPhone’s launch. Released almost exactly six months after iOS 7.0, the update also blocks an exploit which had been used to “jailbreak” phones, and solidifies a security fix introduced in February to prevent snooping on web sessions. It also refines the software’s appearance, boosts its speed on the iPhone 4, and adds options for photography and for choosing the gender of the voice of Siri, its built-in “assistant”. Apple has updated its iPhone software to version 7.1, fixing a number of issues that had frustrated users - including abrupt crashes, problems reading fingerprints and vertigo effects for some.
