Apple To Release iOS 6.1.2 Next Week To Fix Major Security Issue

Apple’s promised fix for an iOS 6.1 bug
that enables intruders to by-pass a user’s passcode and access certain
areas of the phone, could be released this week.
According to a report from German
site iFun, which was dead-on about the release of iOS 6.1.1, the iOS
6.1.2 release date could come as soon as next week, possibly by February
20th.
The rollout of iOS 6.1 hasn’t gone as smoothly for Apple as the company would have liked.
Not only did the initial release
introduce the security issues and battery problems, in addition to a
wallop of a 3G connectivity bug for iPhone 4S users in Europe, the
follow-up version, iOS 6.1.1 released last week, introduced a bunch of
new issues.
iPhone users are still reporting
Exchange connectivity bugs, so severe that Microsoft is suggesting
affected devices be booted from the server so as not to slow down the
rest of the network.
Earlier this week a video was posted
online showing how a complex series of button pushes could nullify the
passcode and unlock photo albums, calling logs, voicemail and enable the
hacker to modify contacts.
Apple has acknowledged the problem,
which is almost identical to one which surfaced in 2010, and said it is
hastily working on a fix.
