Now pointlessly enhanced with AI
September 10, 2014
Google Voice for iOS finally gets a new look, in line with iOS 7 UI. The App was last updated on September 25, 2013, 15 day shy of a year in between.
By the way, Google also updates Hangouts for iOS.
Comparisons between the versions.
With the release of iOS 8 GM, Apple has updated iCloud Storage pricing.
We checked and the upgrade options are available on iOS 7, iOS 8, OS X Mavericks and OS X Yosemite.
Apple releases iOS 7.1.2 build 11D257 (details)

- Improves iBeacon connectivity and stability
- Fixes a bug with data transfer for some 3rd party accessories, including bar code scanners

Apple Also release Apple TV Software 6.2
One tiny thing that Apple iOS team did not care about is the “Disable Background App Refresh” button. They could set the text button in two lines, but they won’t.
@JonyIveParody certainly took notice back in September 2013.
It looks even uglier more beautiful when “Button Shapes” is turned on.
Nice job, iOS Team!
One feature that I should have used before is the “Unread” Mailbox in iOS. I did not even think about it until iOS 7 is released.
To enable the “Unread” Mailbox in iOS Mail App, go to Mailboxes and tap on “Edit”.
A colleague of us received an iMessage spam. We’ve heard about it but this is the firat time we’ve actually seen one in person.
Should you received an iMessage Spam, please do the following:
To report unwanted iMessage messages to Apple, please send an email with the following details to: imessage.spam@icloud.com
- Include a screenshot of the message you have received.
- Include the full email address or phone number you received the unwanted message from.
- Include the date and time that you received the message.
In iOS 7, you can block the sender.

Glad to see iCloud Keychain is back in iOS 7. Having used incarnations of iOS 7 beta, I really missed iCloud Keychain in the GM/Public Release versions.
In addition to that, iOS 7.0.3 includes fixes for accelerometer issue in iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s.
