According to BGR, version i0S7.0.3 could be released as
early as next week to address a number of lingering bugs.
Despite the fact that it has only been available to the
public since September 18, Apple has already pushed out one update to its latest
operating system in record time to address a vulnerability that, if left
unchecked, would have given hackers access to a handset's contents, regardless
of whether a passcode had been activated.
And while the 17-20MB update (iOS7.0.2), which went
live on September 26, has fixed this problem, users who have upgraded to iOS7
from iOS6 have been complaining about problems with iMessage, the feature on
iDevices that allows users to send free text and multimedia messages to other
iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch owners.
Messages are going unsent, are not being received, or
worse, are being sent as text messages and, according to Apple's community
boards, the problems have become more pronounced since installing iOS7.0.2.
On Tuesday, in a statement sent to the Wall Street
Journal Apple confirmed that that it was aware of the issue and would be
pushing out a fix.
But in the meantime, users that can't live without
iMessage can try this:
In the settings menu, disable iMessage. Then in
the general menu, reset the phone's network settings. Then return to the Messages
menu in Settings and reactivate iMessages.
