Daring Fireball's John Gruber reports that Apple will likely ship iOS 7.1 any day now.

Apple’s first iTunes Festival in the U.S. starts a week from today at SXSW in Austin. Apple is going to stream the performances to iOS devices using an app, but I’ve heard from a little birdie that the app requires iOS 7.1 (which explains why the app isn’t out yet). That means iOS 7.1 should ship any day now.

The most noticeable improvements in iOS 7.1 are the new call screens and new power off slider. It's also possible that iOS 7.1 will bring CarPlay, a feature which Apple has just unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show.

Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS to find out as soon as it's available.

can't wait for what? Apple blocking our jailbreaking? it's suck! even if u run on 7.0.4 or 5 you can install the iOS 7.0.6 fix with Cydia so upgrading is not necessary, unless you fell like you need to clean your device from all kind of bugged tweaks.

You kept hush of the truth. They showed the upcoming looks of 7.1, plus the settings screen shows what is fixed in the update, even if it's not revealed here.
