Apple has rolled out a minor iOS 7 update to iPhones and iPads, with the aim of patching security holes and improving Touch ID.
iOS 7.1.1 also aims to fix a keyboard bug and issues when connecting a Bluetooth keyboard. Another useful feature is the ability to see which applications have the option for in-app purchases before you buy them.
This will be particularly useful for parents who are often stung by large bills when children download apps and get carried away with in-app purchases.
