Anyone know if this includes the minimal-ui meta tag for Safari? Can't see any mention of it in the changelist

"Manually control when Siri listens by holding down the Home button while you speak and releasing it when you're done."

Does anyone think this is a downgrade? Is it optional?

I don't see the point of that either. My home button is going to suffer a lot, and it's already unsteady.

Unless it's a change necessary for the CarPlay stuff.

It's optional. You either release the button and it acts normally, or keep pressing and when you release it stops listening.

The headline is pretty explicit: "siri knows when to stop listening".

I've never seen this much marketing for a minor iOS update. I wonder what prompted the change.

"Now Siri knows when to stop listening."

I find this to be some really interesting marketing spin for "Siri doesn't always know when to stop listening, so now you can tell it".

IE

Now your car knows when to slow down

Manually control the speed of your car by pressing the brake pedal

And the biggest feature of 7.1 is that within a few weeks 4 out of 5 iOS users will be running 7.1.
