<\/a><\/center>As we expected to happen this week<\/a>, Apple (AAPL<\/a>) has released iOS 6.1.2 to patch a bug related to the Microsoft<\/a> (MSFT<\/a>) Exchange Calendar that drains battery life<\/a> and, in all likelihood, a\u00a0major security hole in iOS 6.1<\/a>\u00a0that makes it incredibly easy to bypass the iPhone\u2019s unlock screen pass code. Although Apple makes no mention of specifically patching the unlock screen security hole, MacRumors<\/em> notes<\/a> that “sources had indicated that it also addresses” the issue in addition to addressing the Exchange bug, so it’s likely that Apple has taken care of both issues in its latest release.<\/p>\n
