Apple has launched iOS 4.3.1, an incremental update tasked with fixing a bunch of issues experienced by iPhone and iPod touch users after upgrading to the iOS 4.3 software update on March 10.

According to a support document posted minutes ago by the Cupertino, California-based tech giant, iOS 4.3.1 contains improvements and other bug fixes. These include:

• Fixes an occasional graphics glitch on iPod touch (4th generation) • Resolves bugs related to activating and connecting to some cellular networks • Fixes image flicker when using Apple Digital AV Adapter with some TVs • Resolves an issue authenticating with some enterprise web services

Devices targeted by the iOS 4.3.1 release are iPhone 4 (GSM model), iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation), and iPod touch (3rd generation), Apple said.

Despite rumors that an iOS 4.3.1 release would also target CDMA iPhone 4 users, it seems this is not the case with Apple's latest iOS release.

Apple also notes that the update contains security patches originally included in previous firmware updates. These are detailed in a knowledge base article talking about the security content of iOS 4.3.

The Mac maker posts the following system requirements for iOS 4.3.1:

System Requirements

- Personal Hotspot requires iPhone 4 with tethering data plan - New AirPlay features requires Apple TV (2nd generation) running software version 4.2 or later - HD Video out using the Apple Digital AV Adapter requires iPhone 4, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation)
