Apple released the first update to iOS 6 since it was released on September 19, 2012. iOS 6.0.1 was released via a free Over The Air (OTA) update to iPhone and iPad users running iOS 6. 

Ironically, iOS 6.0.1 fixes a bug that prevents some iPhone 5s from downloading OTA updates. According to CNET, it does this by installing a special "iOS updater" app to help the process along. The app is removed from the device after 6.0.1 is installed.

  • Improves reliability of iPhone 5 and iPod touch (5th generation) when connected to encrypted WPA2 Wi-Fi networks
