One day before the launch of the iPad mini and fourth-generation iPad, Apple has just released iOS 6.0.1. The update had been reported to be in carrier testing two weeks ago.

This update contains improvements and bug fixes, including: - Fixes a bug that prevents iPhone 5 from installing software updates wirelessly over the air

- Fixes a bug where horizontal lines may be displayed across the keyboard

- Fixes an issue that could cause camera flash to not go off

- Improves reliability of iPhone 5 and iPod touch (5th generation) when connected to encrypted WPA2 Wi-Fi networks

- Resolves an issue that prevents iPhone from using the cellular network in some instances

- Consolidated the Use Cellular Data switch for iTunes Match

- Fixes a Passcode Lock bug which sometimes allowed access to Passbook pass details from lock screen

- Fixes a bug affecting Exchange meetings



iPhone 5 users updating from their devices are required to first install an "updater" application to fix a bug that would otherwise prevent over-the-air updates. Once the updater has been applied users can download iOS 6.0.1 from their devices.
