Apple has seeded the first beta of iOS 12.1.3 to developers, a few days after they pushed iOS 12.1.2 to fix eSIM activation bugs and patent issues with Qualcomm in China, which removed the app closing animation, as confirmed by the company today, though Qualcomm says Apple is still violating it, so the software beta available is being labeled as beta 2, iOS 12.1.2 should be the beta 1.


As far as iOS 12.1.3 concerned, we were unable to discover what changes it implemented, it’s likely to be a mirror update focused on bug fixes and performance improvements. As always, developers can download the new iOS 12.1.3 beta with the proper configuration profile has been installed in place.

Following its official release of iOS 12.1.1, watchOS 5.1.2, macOS 10.14.2, and tvOS 12.1.1, Apple has seeded the first developer update of iOS 12.1.2, watchOS 5.1.3, macOS 10.14.3, and tvOS 12.1.2. Developers who Registered through Apple Developer Center can download the update via OTA.


The release notes for these upcoming updates only highlight bug fixes and performance improvements, however, we expect to fix an issue that bother many users, in which they found that the iPhone failed to connect to cellular network after updating the iOS 12.1.1, and affecting some app, it's understood that the problem already known by Apple engineers, so iOS 12.1.2 is likely to fix that bug.
