iPhone and
iPad devices. The over-the-air update has a number of fixes and improvements, including one that should cut down on the amount of storage needed for future software updates.</p> <!--break--> <p>Here's the change log for iOS 8.1.3, the download for which should be around 240MB, depending on which device you're downloading it on.</p>
<ul><li>Reduces the amount of storage required to perform a software update</li> <li>Fixes an issue that prevented some users from entering their Apple ID password for Messages and Face Time</li> <li>Addresses an issue that caused Spotlight to stop displaying app results</li> <li>Fixes an issue which prevented multitasking gestures from working on iPad.</li> <li>Adds new configuration options for education standardized testing.</li> </ul>
<p>If you'll recall, the
iOS 8.1.1 update returned some 500MB of free space to users. The free space needed to implement the
many major under-the-hood changes that comprised iOS 8 did cause some grief for many updaters, so hopefully after installing iOS 8.1.3 we won't have to
resort to less civilized means of updating when the next update comes along.</p> <p>Update: The installation for iOS 8.1.3, by all accounts so far, has been exceptionally quick and easy.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><p>Wow, iOS 8.1.3 was incredibly smooth. Fast, no re-setup or re-login requests. Just boom, updated, done. Nice work, Apple!</p>— Rene Ritchie (@reneritchie)

@reneritchie Have to agree with that. I even had a

@reneritchie @markgurman just updated a 4S that needed 1.1GB more free space yesterday, but updated no problem today!!</p>— Geno (@Gen_Zer0)
