The update is to fix a security flaw in the Lock Screen of iOS devices, which made it possible to circumvent security to access the Phone app and potentially the private information held within.

;D Other phones have updates too, Simon, although they knew about this one at 6.1.2 ::)
I know, it was just the sudden security hole that amused me - it's not that they're trying to stop the jailbreakers... :whistle:
Ironically it couldn't finish the update on my phone because the lock screen was locked and needed to be unlocked in order to complete the installation ;D
Also, strangely, my wifi seems better this morning, but that could be to do with the full reset / restore.

No idea it could help in theory, I always turn my phone off once a month anyway as all computery things need a reset, I update using wifi so never do a full restore last nights patch was only 18mb that way.
I think there may be benefits in doing an occasional full 'clean sweep' with iTunes when installing patches, as I did last night. Only took 30 minutes, while I was having tea, so no hassle really. I do usually install patches via wifi, but I think it would have taken ages with the wifi issue I had.
My only gripe is I can never get these updates when released, I always seem to have to wait a day or two. Maybe a change of user name to Aardvark would help ;D
;D

Never did it on my 4S or my 5 so far. I would do a restore if I had issues though. Thought your wifi issue was sorted, Simon.
It is now, Gary. :) The previous network reset only seemed to be a temporary fix, and I hadn't fiddled about with it any further.

Justina's HTC Sensation cr@ps out once a week, count yourself lucky :)
Apparently even in this new version there is still a lock screen bug which gives access to contacts.
iOS 6.1.4 come on down! ;D

I read that this am on the register, guess iOS7 will be more security focused, but by then we will all be using Android phones. That HTC One looks lovely... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/03/21/another_magic_iphone_unlock_spell/
