Now pointlessly enhanced with AI
iOS 7.1 now reminds users they have 15 minutes to make In-App Purchases without having to enter their passwords.
You can now make additional purchases in any app for the next 15 minutes without reentering your password. To change this, tap Settings and go to Restrictions.”
Earlier in January, 2014 Apple agrees to pay $32.5 Millions in refunds with regard to App Store In-App Purchase lawsuit.
Ookla Speedtest.net is now optimized for iPad. It offers an In-App Purchase to permanently remove the advertising; which I did purchase.
What’s New in Version 3.2.0
- Universal app supporting iPhone, iPod touch and iPad (which includes landscape mode)
- Speedometer now adjusts dynamically for high speed connections
- Improved server selection user interface
- Many performance optimizations and bug fixes
In case you don’t know it has one awesome easter egg.
(After a test, swipe down the speedometer. Each swipe will reveal the story.)

iOS 7.1 update is a 1+ GB download.
iOS 7.1 beta was first seeded back in November 18, 2014. The fifth and the last iOS 7.1 beta was released on February 4, 2014. Notably, all builds of iOS 7.1 betas contain the SSL/goto fail vulnerability.
From Apple.com:
iOS 7.1 is packed with interface refinements, bug fixes, improvements, and new features. Apple CarPlay introduces a better way to use iPhone while driving. And you can now control exactly how long Siri listens and more. Getting the update is easy. Go to Settings. Select General. And tap Software Update.
Apple releases iOS 7.0.6 and iOS 6.1.6 through Software Update.
This security update provides a fix for SSL connection verification.
UPDATE:
About the security content of iOS 7.0.6
iOS 7.0.6
Data Security
Available for: iPhone 4 and later, iPod touch (5th generation), iPad 2 and later
Impact: An attacker with a privileged network position may capture or modify data in sessions protected by SSL/TLS
Description: Secure Transport failed to validate the authenticity of the connection. This issue was addressed by restoring missing validation steps.
It is unclear if this issue has been fixed in recent iOS 7.1 beta build. According to a well connected iOS Developer, Apple would release iOS 7.1 GM build in the coming weeks.
WordPress 3.8.4 for iOS is now available for download.

I’m assuming there would be a two-week cycle for iOS 7.1 beta releases.
