Apple Inc's biggest media event on Oct. 22 has finally come with the release of the iPad Air, iPad Mini with retina display and the Mac Pro. The company has also rolled out a relatively significant software update with iOS 7.0.3.

Apple's latest software update includes an iCloud Keychain feature to iOS 7 which lets users create, store and fill in secure passwords for Web sites accessed in Safari browser. The newly-released iOS 7.0.3 update also comes with a standalone password generator so users can create secure logins in Safari.

With devices on iOS 7, the new iOS 7.0.3 will now wait to display the "Slide to Unlock" when users enable Touch ID. In this case, Apple has assumed users will more likely use their fingerprint to access their devices.

Based on the release notes included in the new iOS 7.0.3 update, it will also let users search the Web and Wikipedia using Spotlight search bar. The iOS 7.0.3 fixes several iMessage problems reported by users. Some iOS 7 users were experiencing issues with iMessages failing to send.

The software update also fixes the bug causing iMessage activations to fail sometimes. iPhone users who complained about bugs in the accelerometer will be happy to know that iOS 7.0.3 has provided a solution to some extent. Apple has also fixed a bug allowing someone else to bypass the Lockscreen passcode.

Apparently, Apple Inc has been listening to iOS 7 users who are continuously complaining of motion sickness reportedly caused by iOS 7 animations. The new iOS 7.0.3 will give users the option to reduce motion even further. Basically, Apple's latest software update will eliminate almost all of the animations on iOS 7.

When the iOS 7 was first released, the animations can be lessened by enabling the "Reduce Motion" option. This will disable the parallax effect but not the animations of the icons. With iOS 7.0.3, the icon animations can also be removed too.

Here is the complete list of improvements and bug fixes taken from Apple's Web site.
