According to the release notes, iOS 7.1 fixes some network connection issues and some other bugs. There is also a new Yahoo logo, as well as new burst mode upload options and a toggle for a 'dark keyboard' in the Accessibility settings, according to 9to5Mac.

Would be nice if they offered the old UI - iOS7 on the iPhone is just too damn hard to read - I've so many friends who have the same complaint (here at the retirement home):)

When sleeping or waiting for extremely precise time intervals, timers were delayed by up to 1 millisecond.
