14 DAY TRIAL // Apple released today the second minor maintenance update to the latest iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 mobile operating systems for iPhone and iPad devices, along with the first maintenance update to watchOS 6.
Coming just three days after the iOS/iPadOS 13.1.1 emergency release that addresses a critical vulnerability with third-party keyboard apps, as well as battery drain issues and other important bugs and regressions, the iOS 13.1.2 and iPadOS 13.1.2 software updates are here to fix more bugs in the latest iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 operating systems.
The iOS 13.1.2 and iPadOS 13.1.2 updates fix a bug where the progress bar for iCloud Backup could continue to show after a successful backup, an issue with the Camera app where it may not work properly, a bug that could result in a loss of display calibration data (also fixed in watchOS 6.0.1), as well as an issue where shortcuts could not be run from the HomePod.
Additionally, they address an issue where Bluetooth may disconnect on certain vehicles and a bug where the flashlight may not activate. The watchOS 6.0.1 maintenance update was also released today for Apple Watch devices to resolve an issue where the Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse watch faces don't speak time and an issue where the calendar complication may not display events.
macOS Catalina 10.15 beta 10 now available for testing
Also today, Apple seeded the 10th beta release of the upcoming macOS Catalina 10.15 operating system for Macs to registered developers via the Apple Developer portal, as well as to public beta testers through the Apple Beta Software Program. Beta testers running the macOS Catalina beta are encourage to update to beta 10 as soon as possible.
We recommend all iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch users to update their devices as well to the iOS 13.1.2, iPadOS 13.1.2, and watchOS 6.0.1 software releases as soon as possible after reading this as they will improve the overall stability and security of your devices.
