Soon to be Released iOS 6.1.2 Addresses Security Issues Says Apple [Video]

According to a report from German language blog iFun, Apple is preparing to release iOS 6.1.2 early next week to address the much talked about Microsoft Exchange bug and passcode vulnerability. Apple already confirmed that both issues would be fixed in an upcoming software update, but iFun confirmed the update would land sometime before February 21 based on its checks with carriers.

Earlier this month iFun accurately predicted the launch of iOS 6.1.1 through the same sources. In addition, the report appears to claim that the enhancements to maps in Japan that Apple introduced in the recent 6.1.1 beta would reach consumers as iOS 6.1.3 in the coming weeks.

Apple provided a statement to AllThingsD about the passcode vulnerability earlier this week:

Reached for comment, Apple said it is hard at work on a fix.

“Apple takes user security very seriously” spokeswoman Trudy Muller told AllThingsD. “We are aware of this issue, and will deliver a fix in a future software update.” [9to5Mac]
