Apple has released iOS 13.1.3 and iPadOS 13.1.3. The previous iOS and iPadOS versions were released last month. The iOS 13.1.3 and iPadOS 13.1.3 arrives with bug fixes and stability improvements.

The initial iOS 13 was laden with bugs, however, Apple fixed some of the bugs in previous iterations. That being said iOS 13.1.2 also had a few bugs that lingered on. To begin with, the iOS 13.1.2 is plagued with call and battery problems. I have personally faced issues wherein calls are being dropped minutes within connected. In some cases, the calls simply don’t connect. Furthermore, the battery drain issue is said to be accompanied by reports of overheating. Interestingly, some of the bugs got carried over from iOS 13.1.2 beta to the final version.
