Can be jailbroken? Thats the major question!

They should update only maps app and not all the OS. 3 iOS updates in less than 1 month. Don't enjoy the iPhone, enjoy uodating...

i wish santa claus will make baseband downgrade for iphone 4 bb 4.12.01 to 1.59.0 or maybe make some custom software that acts like server for baseband ticketing for downgrade....

its not for usa people who travel to japan. Its for another apple user worldwide. we need this especially Japanese.

JamesHoyland23 - February 22, 2013 at 12:10am

They should have released iOS 6.1.3 for all devices to the public, not just for the maps and other things in Japan.

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.

Another reason to break the jailbreak

Joshua - February 21, 2013 at 10:01pm

Exactly. We just freaking updated to 6.1.

JamesHoyland23 - February 21, 2013 at 9:03pm

I hope this is for all IOS devices like the iPhones iPod touches and iPads

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.

Can someone please clarify this because I find it strange. They need to issue an iOS update to add 3D objects to the maps, including Tokyo Station, Japan Imperial Palace, and Tokyo Tower?

Anthony - February 21, 2013 at 8:07pm

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

mhar - February 21, 2013 at 6:35pm

why dont they fix all bugs at once

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