With an iOS 8.1 release set to be held in the coming days, Apple has detailed some of the upcoming features of the new mobile OS patch.
Having come under criticism for the issue hit rollout of iOS 8 last month, Apple has been quick to jump to a full point-one update in order to fix bugs and add new features.
“When we put a new operating system into the hands of millions of users, we get a bit of feedback,” Craig Federighi, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Software Engineering said in true tongue-in-cheek fashion.
Although not dwelling on the iOS 8 issues, he offered a glimpse of what’s to come in iOS 8.1.
“We’ve added support for 8.1 for Apple Pay and iCloud Drive,” he stated.
Offering further insight into the benefits of iCloud Drive, he added: “You can now have access to every photo you take on every device.”
iOS 8 will be compatible with Apple's latest iPhone and tablet offerings, including the oversized iPhone 6 Plus.
Although an exact date for the iOS 8.1 release has yet to be confirmed, with Apple Pay set to launch in the US this Monday, October 20, the patch will need to be available ahead of this to enable use.
