Apple is rushing to release an update to iOS 6.1 after carriers warned customers not to update due to a bug that affects 3G performance, reports iFun.

The site's source who provided them with correct information in the past, says that carrier testing has been completed on a software update weighing in at 23MB.

"Today, on 11 February, midnight our time, "Testing Complete" is announced by the network operators. If you have already installed the 6.1 update is 23MB big on 6.1.1 (10B145) available via OTA. Baseband has been updated on 03/04/02. Thus, the error should be off the table."

Apple already seeded developers with a beta of iOS 6.1.1; however, iFun reports that we could see the final build within a week.

Notably, AOL has identified another bug with iOS 6.1 that's forced them to disable meeting management for all mobile devices.

We won't get the 6.1.1 patch because iPhone five users have no reason to use 3G Besides it's really rushed even if they do release it to us I doubt they Had the time to patch a kernel panic all the way

That would be a software issue not hardware, Don't try to Sounds like you know what your talking about you when you don't

iOS 6.1.1 beta 1 is fully jailbreakable, so hopefully, this will last into the final code. I thought I hadn't missed the jailbreak when I upgraded to the iPhone 5, but Cydia and the JB apps are just awesome and have really matured a LOT. The iOS 6.1 bugs don't apply to how most everyone uses their iPhone 5's. 4S is a different issue.

Even if apple releases this it's highly possible the 'fix' can come out as a patch on cydia. It's happened numerous times before.

Ha ha i knew it! They introduced a bug on purpose in the 6.1 update so that after the jb is released they will release a new update and at the same time fix the jb.

Probably the carrier problems aren't the main issue here. I bet the update also closes the possibility of a jailbreak!

Perhaps Apple will close the hole for the jailbreak with this update. However, I seriously doubt that that is a priority in this case.
