In all seriousness, wonder what else really was updated . Those two improvements were listed in the original 6.1.1 beta 1 way back before 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 was released. Cant imagine that's all there was after the 6.1.3beta 2 which was out for some time too. And conflicting info always around maps. Its server side so updates can appear without iOS update (as was the case a few weeks ago with Japan maps). So what gives with maps updates on the device with iOS update verses server side?
Got a tip for us?

Installing now and battery life already seems better. Its actually going up!Hmm maybe because its plugged in while updating? Or perhaps some behind the scenes battery charging code built in now.
On an iPhone 5? That would be a reason to upgrade. 6.1.2 totally killed my battery life, to the point where I, yes, ordered a Nexus 4. A phone that doesn't last through the day and dies late afternoon / evening is useless to me.
I just read the whole thread.
What an astounding amount of whining, crabbing and complaining.
Just incredible...

That's an easy one: There is a whole lot more wrong with maps than just the data.
As an example, I was in Hong Kong and the reason Apple Maps was useless there was the "detail-at-a-given-zoom-level" setting. If I zoomed out enough to see more than one street, I wouldn't see street names for side streets. If I zoomed in enough to see the side street names, I didn't see any context (just one large street zoomed all the way in in the middle).
Google Maps wasn't out at the time so I made do with Google Maps in Safari. Pretty horrible compared to maps in iOS 5, but still leaps and bounds better than Apple Maps. In HK.
Unlike the co-called "competition", in iOS, bugs get fixed without having to buy a whole new device.
YES! Thank you! I love people on the forums calling out bugs for software working as it was designed to do.
Ah ok. So display issues verses actual missing data. Here in N.C in US maps are actually fine for the most part. Not really heard any complaints from this area.
Observing the whining, crabbing and complaining.
I didn't whine, crab or complain about it...just observed it!
6.1.2 signing
Just my luck, my new ipad 4 arrived today, delayed by 3 days in the post and 6.1.3 comes out same day.
Just switched it on to find ios 6.0 installed, wanted to go up to 6.1.2 but I am unsure if it is still being signed.
has anybody restored today to 6.1.2, is it still being signed??
any help appreciated.

Is it really a feature though? I always wondered why does the iPhone disconnect from Wifi in sleep mode, yet retains the more battery-draining 3G connection...
True. I am NOT optimistic for iOS7.
All iOS updates are just bug fixes for previous updates. It's a windows-esque downward spiral.
I'll pass on this update. Please

As a demi-god who pays money for your status, you should encourage comments that support and bring traffic to the site. Not just comments of people who accept that Apple is now so big that "good enough" is "good enough".
Seeing that the Apple TV is always on the same iOS version as the rest of the iOS devices then obviously it was updated to iOS 6.1.3 as well.
iOS already has lots of useful features, for people using a Mac they'll find out. Windows 7 users will just have to look elsewhere.
