BGR reports that with just a few days to go before the likely public release of iOS 8, Apple is preparing to seed its carrier partners with iOS 8.0.1.
BGR:
While Apple is in the process of finalizing iOS 8.0 for a release to consumers in the next week or two, we have been told by sources that the company is already preparing to seed a new version of iOS to testing partners. iOS 8.0.1 is currently planned to be seeded shortly and should contain further enhancements to iOS 8.
Last year saw Apple release a launch-day iOS 7.0.1 update for the iPhone 5s and 5c to fix bugs on those devices.
Apple last seeded beta 5 of iOS 8 to developers around a month ago, and reportedly seeded a sixth beta to carriers a few weeks ago. Developers did not have access to the sixth beta, a move that MacRumors notes was likely to keep them from perusing the code for clues as to the capabilities of any next-generation iOS devices Apple has in the works.
