Apple iOS 8.1.3 Rumored to Come Out This Week, iOS 8.2 to Arrive Soon
Reports have it that Apple is set to roll out the iOS 8.1.3 to their Devices worldwide starting this week, just a month after releasing its previous update.
Apple released the iOS 8.1.2 a month ago to address issues with users reportedly missing ringtones purchases from the iTunes Store. Reports also have it that iOS 8.2 was soon to follow in a few weeks, but it seemed like the Cupertino giant found the time to squeeze in one more iOS update in between.
The iOS 8.1.3 build 12B460 has already been seeded for testing by retail employees, which is a surprise to some as Apple usually did not have employees test its latest their iOS before release. However, information on what the update will provide is still limited, though it is possible that it may be minor bug fixes and improvements.
The update remains unconfirmed by Apple, though rumors of an iOS 8.1.3 have been circulating since last year when reports claimed that it will come out before the year's end.
Considering the rumors didn't hit the mark, some are eyeing its arrival at the soonest as the days push on into the new year. It is said to be dependent on the results of the testing though, so if all goes well, the update may arrive sooner rather than later. However, it is also unclear if the upcoming iOS update will be a beta version or fit for public release.
With a new update in the news, Apple's more major update, the iOS 8.1., is also making news as reports claimed it will be launched soon.
Apple released a walkthrough of the iOS 8.2 12D5461b last month to developers at the iOS Dev Center, which is fourth beta version of the iOS. It is unknown what updates the iOS will provide when released though some it will hopefully fix the iOS 8's continued issues with the WiFi, Bluetooth and battery.
Apple iOS 8.1 is said to come out in just a few weeks, possibly around the time Apple released the Apple Watch.
