iOS 7.1 & iOS 7.0.3 Anticipation Grows Ahead of iPad Launch

Tomorrow, Apple is set to unleash a pair of new iPads in the iPad mini 2 and the iPad 5. However, rumors also suggest that the company could be introducing a number of other products including a brand new update to its iOS 7 software. iOS 7.0.3 and iOS 7.1 have both been rumored for arrival and anticipation for the updates is high ahead of tomorrows iPad launch wherein Apple could announce one of them for arrival.

Last month, Apple rolled out its iOS 7 update for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The release date was marred by installation issues that users encountered when trying to install the update. And while those issues subsided, iPhone, iPad and iPod touch owners have been complaining about a myriad of issues with iOS 7 since installing the update back in September.

Apple, for its part has acknowledged several of the major problems impacting its iOS software. The first admission came in the form of a swift iOS 7.0.1 update that tackled a Touch ID issue on the iPhone 5s and more. A few days later, Apple rolled out iOS 7.0.2 to all iPhone, iPad and iPod touch owners in an attempt to fix a passcode issue that allowed nefarious users to bypass the lock screen and view the camera roll and more.

Since then, the company has confirmed two more major issues with its iOS 7 update including an iMessage issue that is preventing iPhone users from sending or receiving iMessages and another issue that has killed the filters and control that teachers have over their iPads inside the classroom. Earlier this month, Apple confirmed that it was working on these two issues and that it would be rolling out an update sometime this month to address them.
