Continuing the tradition from previous betas....

Post any bugs, new features, or changes in iOS 7.1 beta that you notice compared to iOS 7.0.4. I'll keep this post updated. :)

New features / changes:

Auto HDR mode added to camera
Option to not upload burst photos to photo stream
Option to use only dark keyboard
Flash indicator in camera (if auto is enabled) telling you whether flash will be used or not
New text/messages in Notification Center Missed and All tabs if there are no new notifications to display
Dark keyboard toggle in Accessibility
Improved iPad pinch-to-home gesture
Reduce Motion now affects the multitasking interface transition
Two new options in Increase Contrast for Darken Colors and Reduce Transparency
Much smoother screen rotation animation

Bugs:

Every text tone is the tri-tone sound
AssistiveTouch home button (sometimes) gets unintentionally held down causing Siri to be initiated if tapped too fast after opening AT UI

Pinch to close animation on iPad fixed.

Assistive Touch is a little flaky. Sometimes it seems to do a long press of the home button and ends up bringing up Siri.
 
Can anyone shoot a side-by-side of the unlock animation and entering folders/apps animations with 7.0.4 and 7.1 beta?

Hearing mixed information that they sped them up a bit but no one seems to be focusing on this - only the iPad thing.

Unlocking is just as bad as before (swiping does nothing for a second or two). Switching apps via the home screen is definitely a lot faster. It might be 25% faster.
 
Ugh, that's pretty ugly IMO. Doesn't fit the white theme at all. But if it helps people seeing the keyboard better...

Isn't really meant to match the theme. It's in "Accessibility" for a reason.

Classic tones work fine. Classic tri-tone is the new version though.
 
For iOS 7.1 beta, is there still the animation lag on 5S?

E.g when u switch between apps, there is this 0.5-1 sec delay before the app 'snaps' into place ontop?
