IOS 6.1.3 is a useless update plus you have to jailbreak to get it and the crappy app store named cydia i mean who come up with a name like that its sounds soo stupid plus apple inc should stop people from jailbreaking because it can damage your device and decrease battery life and other things like bug glitches. Apple needs a built in anti virus in all IOS devices plus they removed debug console and replaced it with something else that's crap.

who cares about japan maps, here in the USA, if even so we care, who's gonna go down there, to use the service, push separate update would be better or update with 6.2 would really good, i don't wana jailbreak every single update they pushes through.

its like this while Apple was working on 6.1.1 new bugs that needed fixing fast like the one with the 4S antenna so they had no choice and fixed the 4S antenna problem with a tiny upgrade which took over 6.1.1 then another bug was discovered which needed fixing fast ( the exchange bug ) which was also using too much battery so again the first upgrade was set aside, now they are taking their time for the original upgrade with beta testings.

"Added 3D buildings including Tokyo Station, Japan Imperial Palace, and Tokyo Tower"
They need to issue an ios update to add 3D objects to the crapple-maps?

There was a serious security issue this addresses. The Japanese maps most likely were ready for release so they dropped them in there too.

Be brave: If Windows users could put up with this for so many years, you can too!
