So now comes word that the second beta of iOS 6.1.3 has been sent out to developers, with the necessary passcode repair. Actually, because Apple had to scramble to send out patches when they could, this is actually iOS 6.1.1 beta 2, but was renamed to iOS 6.1.3 beta 2 and includes some changes to the Apple Maps application in Japan. Those improvements include a new preference in turn-by-turn navigation for highways over smaller roads. And Japanese Apple Maps users will now be notified when they are about to turn onto a toll road.
Hopefully, Apple will push this out soon for those passcode users who are now vulnerable to having their inner secrets stolen from them.
