Apple has already started seeding beta versions of the next major iOS 7 firmware update, iOS 7.1, and according to a latest rumor it has already seeded iOS 7 beta 3 to various testing partners. As of now this build has not been seeded to developers because it hasn’t been long since Apple rolled out iOS 7 beta 2, that particular build was seeded to developers on December 13th. According to a “trusted source” who spoke to BGR, iOS 7.1 beta 3 includes important bug fixes as well as a several new features, however they have not been described.

The same source claims that iOS 7.1 will not be publicly released until March 2014. It was previously believed that this update might be rolled out for all iOS users in January, but that timeframe has now been contradicted. It is also unclear if iOS 7.1 beta 3 patches the exploit that has been used to achieve the iOS 7 untethered jailbreak that was released just yesterday. While it can go either way, Apple usually patches the exploits soon after the jailbreak has been released. There also exists the possibility that the company might not wait for iOS 7.1 and simply release an incremental update that patches the exploit. iOS 7.1 is going to be the first major update ever since iOS 7.0 was released back in September.

It was back in September when Apple finally released iOS 7 to the public. Apple’s latest and greatest iOS update, which totally changes the look and feel of the OS, has been very well received. Since the release, Apple has rolled out a few incremental updates to fix some bugs but it hasn’t made any drastic changes. That would come in a major update like iOS 7.1. Today, iOS 7.1 beta download became available for registered developers, which confirms that Apple has already started working on the next big update.

As of now, it can’t be said for sure exactly what new features Apple is going to add into iOS 7.1. Its possible that some user interface changes might be made as well. This is just the first beta version, we can expect the company to seed a few more before the update is ready for public release. It is obviously too soon to say right now when Apple intends to release iOS 7.1 to the public. Registered developers can now head over to the developers’ portal and download iOS 7.1 for supported devices, which include all smartphones from iPhone 4 up to iPhone 5s, the third and fourth generation iPads as well as the iPad Air, the original and the Retina iPad mini and the fourth and fifth generation iPod touch.
