New Button Shapes for Menus
The biggest addition to iOS 7.1 is Button Shapes, a feature that allows you to enable indicators for select Apple apps on your device, creating shaded backdrops for certain menu options. Once enabled. you'll see dark grey buttons form around certain selectable options, in apps such as Camera Roll, Mail, Messages, Calendar, Settings, and more.
In addition to the button look, options that appear in Apple popups will have an underline beneath them.
New Calendar List View Toggle
If checking your events was a hassle, Apple has now added a list view toggle to the calendar application. If you want to easily view the events of the day you're currently in, just tap on the icon at the top left of the icon list, which will turn the bottom portion of the screen into a list of your daily events
New Shortcuts to Passcode & Touch ID Settings
Presumably to push its importance or to make it quicker to reach, Apple has now moved Passcode and Touch ID to the main Settings panel. You can see the difference between three different models and their iOS—iPhone 4S (iOS 7.1), iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1 beta 2) and iPhone 5S (iOS 7.1 beta 2), in that order.
Upcoming Car Display Controls
Something exciting to this new beta is Car Display, which is a feature that Apple is working on to augment iOS integration with cars that carry the compatibility. You'll be able to get directions, check text messages and emails, and more—all through your car's dashboard monitor. You can find the new setting in Restrictions, but don't hold your breath—the feature won't be fully integrated until next year.
