iOS 6.1.3 update misery

Just a few days ago Apple released an update for its iOS devices taking them to 6.1.3 and many users have been notified of the available update on their devices.

This recent update was intended to fix a security hole that came to light in the previous version of the OS and that could allow someone to bypass the passcode and access the iPhone app and the photos stored upon the device.

Since applying the update to their phones, many users are complaining that the battery life has been dramatically reduced and Apply has, apparently, been inundated with complaints to that effect. There have also been countless tweets also in criticism of this issue.

Furthermore it has since come to light that there is a new bug within iOS 6.1.3 which, although different to the one in previous versions, still allows someone to bypass the passcode and access the iPhone app.

For anyone wishing to Jailbreak their device the most recent update puts a stop to that also.

So, overall, the advice is not to update!!
