Apple is expected to roll out its latest iOS 8.1.3 update next week, according to sources familiar with the company\u2019s plans. The release is likely to fix outstanding issues ahead of a bigger iOS 8.2 update, but it\u2019s currently unclear whether the software will be beta tested before reaching the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been told that Apple is planning on releasing an iOS 8 software update sometime next week,\u201d\u00a0BGR\u00a0<\/em>reports. \u201cWhether it\u2019s a beta seed or a public release, our source couldn\u2019t confirm, but the company is currently planning on making a move\u00a0around Tuesday or Wednesday.\u201d<\/p>\n Strengthening these claims is a report from iDownloadBlog,\u00a0<\/i>which notes a \u201cvery clear spike of traffic yesterday emanating from devices running iOS 8.1.3 on Apple\u2019s networks.\u201d\u00a0MacRumors\u00a0<\/em>is also reporting the same, and says this update was made available to select retail employees last Wednesday.<\/p>\n This explains the iOS 8.1.3 web traffic spikes, and indicates Apple is close to making the software available to its users. The company\u00a0doesn\u2019t traditionally beta test smaller releases like these, so it won\u2019t be at all surprising to see the software seeded to the public without a developer preview.<\/p>\n With that said, you may want to keep an eye on the Software Update section inside your Settings app early next week \u2014 unless you\u2019re a jailbreaker, in which case you\u2019ll want to avoid this update for the time being.<\/p>\n Apple is expected to roll out its latest iOS 8.1.3 update next week, according to sources familiar with the company\u2019s plans.
