    Apple rushes out iOS 6.1.1 update for iPhone 4S to fix bugs

    By Zach Epstein | BGR News – Mon, Feb 11, 2013
    iOS 6.1.1 DownloadiPhone 4S

    Just two weeks after releasing iOS 6.1, Apple (AAPL) on Monday issued a new software update to address some serious bugs. The iOS 6.1.1 update was clearly rushed out — it is only available for the iPhone 4S at the moment — and it is mainly a response to Vodafone’s public warnings dissuading iPhone 4S users on its network from updating their handsets. A number of iPhone users have reported that their battery life has taken a hit since updating to iOS 6.1, but issues on Vodafone’s network were more severe — the carrier warned that iPhone 4S users might not be able to make or receive calls or SMS if they updated. iOS 6.1.1 is available immediately for iPhone 4S users as an over-the-air (OTA) update.

      Ya your right. It's to slow down the downloading of the jailbreak!! Apple can't fool anyone. I'm not updating the the new version anyway. I just updated to the last ISP 6. and then installed the jailbreak.

      No, this new OS update is being rushed out to combat the recent jail-breaking that has occurred since Evasi0n made the most recent attempts possible.
