It has been speculated that Apple will release iOS 7.1, the next major update after iOS 7 in March.
AppleInsider now reports that according to their “unverified source,” Apple will release iOS 7.1 on March 15th.
It seems highly unlikely, as March 15th is a Saturday, and Apple seldom releases an update over the weekend. AppleInsider claims that according to their source, iOS 7.1 will also include improved Mobile Device Management (MDM) options that will make it easier for organizations to manage large number of devices.
An unverified source reported to AppleInsider that Apple is working with a select few MDM vendors and institutional clients on efforts to improve iOS managed deployment, and that those improvements are currently set to ship as part of iOS 7.1 in mid March. [..]
[..] he source stated Apple’s iOS 7.1 would include “over-the-air supervision, allowing iOS administrators to fully manage devices without the need for the much maligned Apple Configurator,” allowing organizations to instead deploy iOS devices via an MDM server.
The report notes that the improvements will also prevent students from bypassing restrictions configured on iOS devices issued by schools. This issue was raised as a concern by school authorities after students of Los Angeles Unified School District bypassed content restrictions on their school issued iPads.
Based on the beta versions released so far, iOS 7.1 will also include several tweaks and improvements to the user interface. You may click the appropriate link below to find out the new features and improvements that we have discovered so far in the five beta versions of iOS 7.1:
- iOS 7.1 beta 1
- iOS 7.1 beta 2
- iOS 7.1 beta 3
- iOS 7.1 beta 4
- iOS 7.1 beta 5
Apple has also patched exploits in iOS 7.1 which will break the evasi0n7 jailbreak.
