In the section on Fingerprint Security (touch ID), there is no mention that a delay (1 to 240 minutes) is not available to touch ID, it is always "immediate". Even if you have selected a delay whilst setting your passcode, it will automatically revert to immediate.

Entire page |
Starting with page 59, some sort of font encoding problem causes a number of pages (about 10 overall) to render incorrectly in older versions of Adobe Acrobat (the full version). Text renders with most characters showing as a "X" within a box.

An update, really: The text and graphic show the "Shortcuts" menu as including a list of saved shortcuts and a "+" button at the upper right corner. However, on my iPhone 5s under both iOS 7.0.6 and 7.1, the General > Keyboard menu lists the saved shortcuts and has a button at the bottom of the menu to "Add New Shortcut... >", which opens the Shortcuts menu. All that the separate Shortcut menu now does is to provide the means to create and save a shortcut. It no longer includes the list of saved shortcuts.

2nd paragraph "From the Recents list" and under "TIP:" |
Under both sections, "Call Details" screen should be "Info" screen. In the index, "Call Details Screen" is listed on page 75 but I couldn't find a Calls Details screen.

iPhone will also display green or blue in 'To:' field of new message if + is clicked to select from Contacts.
When contact is selected, it is green (assuming the number is for a cell phone). Several seconds later it changes to blue if the recipient is an iDevice, is turned on, and set to receive iMessages. iMessage also shows up in the banner, and the typing window.
This happens for a first time contact. After that, selecting that contact will show blue, and any previous messaging.
This applies to iPhone 5 and 5S, that I know of.
This information is not in the Apple iOS7 .pdf, but acknowledged by AppleCare Service.
