Apple released the iOS 7 for its iDevices on Sept. 18 and now the company is rolling out an update to bring the current software to version iOS 7.0.1.
The company announced its seventh mobile operating system at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 10 this year. The recently-launched iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C are the first Apple devices to come pre-loaded with the latest operating system and older iDevices have also started receiving a software update.
"One of our loyal readers popped into an AT&T store and started playing around with an Apple iPhone 5c that was on display. After taking a photo of the mid-range Apple device, our tipster noted that there was a software update on the unit. Looking closely, he saw that it was iOS 7.0.1," reports Phone Arena.
iOS 7 includes a redesigned user interface and brings along many improvements to the operating system.
A recent report suggests that iOS 7.0.1 and iOS 7.0.2 have shown up in analytics reports and may arrive soon. The leaked screen shot of iOS 7.0.1 indicates that the update offers "bug fixes and improvements". Speculations suggest that the iOS 7.0.1 update repairs a bug with the Touch ID fingerprint sensor and also fixes a problem pertaining to the iTunes App Store purchasing system. However, Apple has not yet confirmed any details of the software update.
A BGR report also suggests that Apple will debut iOS 7.1 at an announced event in October this year, where we hope to see the iPad 5, iPad mini 2, new iMacs and possible reveal some information on the Apple TV.
When Apple released iOS 6 in 2012, the operating system was surrounded with issues mostly related to the company's latest Apple Mapping service, which was creating havoc amongst users. The company also had to issue a formal apology to its customers. The release of iOS 7 seems smooth so far, with no major flaws in the latest operating system except for some minor lockscreen glitches. However, as the latest software has been released just a few days back, it may take a while before customers find issues and start reporting any problems with the firmware update.
If you have an iDevice, have you received the iOS 7.0.1 software update?
