iOS 7.1 could be available this week

As rumored since the early iOS 7.1 betas , its release would take place sometime in March. This seems to be a fairly accurate prediction, as we will likely have iOS 7.1 available this week, coinciding with the first-ever iTunes Festival SXSW in the United States, from March 11th to 15th.

But, specifically, what is relevant about both events?
Both the iTunes Festival SXSW and the arrival of iOS 7.1.

" The first Apple iTunes Festival in the US kicks off in a week at SXSW in Austin. Apple will be streaming the performances on iOS devices using an app, but I heard from a little bird that the app requires iOS 7.1 (which explains why the app hasn't been released yet). That means iOS 7.1 will be available any day now, making it possible to download the app. "

The answer is simple. According to John Gruber , Apple will allow the event to be streamed through an application created to view the artists of the iTunes Festival SXSW, and he indicates that this application would need to have iOS 7.1 installed to work on the devices.

The new operating system update seems to be getting closer every day; there are many rumors already, and the famous "sources close to" confirm it, but Apple has not revealed anything about it.

iOS 7.1 is possibly closer than we thought.
