Apple has released iOS 12.1.3 for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. The release is minor in nature as the version number would indicate, focussing on under-the-hood improvements, bug fixes, and security patches designed to streamline the experience.
The improvements in this release were initially meant to be a part of iOS 12.1.1 and 12.1.2 but had to be pushed back to satisfy the demands made by a Chinese court over the alleged infringement of Qualcomm Inc. patents.
The official changelog from Apple reads as follows:
This update:
- Fixes an issue in Messages that could impact scrolling through photos in the Details view
- Addresses an issue where photos could have striped artifacts after being sent from the Share Sheet
- Fixes an issue that may cause audio distortion when using external audio input devices on iPad Pro (2018)
- Resolves an issue that could cause certain CarPlay systems to disconnect from iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max
- Fixes an issue that could cause HomePod to restart
- Addresses an issue that could cause Siri to stop listening
The update will be pushed to all compatible iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch devices OTA (over-the-air) and you will receive an update notification when it is available for your device. You could also manually update on your device by heading to Settings > General > Software Update.
Advanced users who prefer a clean installation of iOS could consider downloading the IPSW files and installing the update on their device using iTunes.
