The latter apparently provoked motion sickness in some users. iPhone 5S users will be able to use an &#8216;auto HDR&#8217; mode. The Notification Center has been tweaked to make clearing items a bit easier, while the Yahoo! logo has been updated throughout the OS.<\/p>\n<p>To try the iOS 7.1 beta, you need a <strong>developer account<\/strong>, which is free, but also membership of the iOS Developer Program, which costs $99 a year.
