Apple is readying the release of the first beta of iOS 13.4.1 for later this week, says Israeli website The Verifier, which has a mixed track record for reports like this. The release is said to be a “bug fixes” release.
The report also suggests there will not be an iOS 13.5 update this year, which makes sense, as Apple hasn’t released a point-five iOS version in recent years. Instead, the report claims Apple has three more bug fix updates for iOS 13 in the works, with a maximum version number of iOS 13.4.4.
The Verifier has shared several Apple rumors recently, claiming the Apple Watch “Series 6” will support fingerprint authentication and has reported that a “Kids Mode” is on the way for tvOS. While some rumors it has shared has proven to be accurate, others, like a claim Group FaceTime would launch in iOS 11 and the Control Center would expand to macOS, have proven inaccurate.
In today’s topsy-turvy pandemic world, Apple’s plans and timeline will certainly change, so nothing is set in stone until an official announcement or beta seed by Apple.
