iOS 8.1.3

iOS 8.2 must arrive before Apple Watch ships. So, iOS 8.1.3 can't be late, since Apple Watch is going to ship before February 14.
So, two options:
1) iOS 8.1.3 is released within 48 hours.
2) they move to iOS 8.2 directly.
This is what I think.

Absolutely no way

Why do you think Apple Watch will ship before February 14? All signs are pointing to a March release window.
I wouldn't hold my breath. It could be as late as next week. If their even on time. Maybe just a jump to 8.2?
I've read Apple released 8.1.3 beta to the Apple retail employees today. So 8.1.3 won't be out this week for sure.

Well that's disappointing. 
Couldn't care less about 8.1.3 at this point. I've lost all hope in x.x.1, x.x.2 etc updates. They do nothing but cause forums to blow up over battery life. Or fix one little bug that I have never encountered. Even x.1 and x.2 updates look hopeless at this point too. Haven't heard of anything good 8.2 has done other than add Apple watch stuff. These x.1 updates have turned into feature catchup versions, things that Apple promised would arrive with iOS 8, but ran out of time to include in the first public release. 8.1 added Apple pay and Text Message forwarding. Both originally intended to be in 8.0. 8.2 is adding Apple watch support, not much else. 8.3 may very well focus on iPad Pro/iPad Air Plus stuff, leaving little to no time for actual bug squashing to happen. Hopefully iOS 9 is a "Snow Leapard" release, because iOS 8 is looking like it's going to be a mess the whole way through.
I can confirm that. I was on 8.1 with a jailbreak and updated to 8.1.2 with a new jailbreak and I noticed a difference in smoothness. Dare I say that 8.1.2 is as smooth as 7.1.2 for me.
iOS 8.2 continues the perf improvements at least in my testing. This doesn't mean every issue has been resolved - I've got 26 bugs open with Apple and more than half of them are actively being worked on based on engineering feedback (requests to test issue in current beta).
