However, before the update could get ready and released for the public, Apple has update its Maps feature with some enhancements for its Japan users separately from the iOS update.

The Maps feature for Japan was last update in iOS 6.1.1 beta, and the feature was not included for update in iOS 6.1.2 and iOS 6.1.3 beta versions.

According to a 9to5Mac report, "Today Apple has apparently pushed out the new Map data to users without including it in a new update."

The update is said to be bringing so many changes to the present Maps feature. The pronunciations of the place have been improved with the new enhancement.

The other reported improvements are as follows:

• Optimized directions to more strongly prefer highways over narrower roads
• Now indicates upcoming toll roads during turn-by-turn navigation
• Added labels for junctions, interchanges, on-ramps, off-ramps, and intersections
• Added indicators for transit station buildings, subway lines, and traffic lights
• Updated freeway color to green
• Updated icons for some location categories including fire stations, hospitals and post offices
• Added 3D buildings including Tokyo Station, Japan Imperial Palace and Tokyo Tower

Meanwhile, many iOS users have started questioning Apple's commitment towards the security of their devices and privacy of data stored inside them.

As more reports about the passcode bug in iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 and other devices once again start surfacing on the Internet, iOS users are getting really eager to know that when the iOS 6.1.3 will be coming to their devices.

Predications about the release of iOS 6.1.3 indicate towards an early April release of the operating system's update. However, it's Apple and it always believes in maintaining secrecy about all of its moves.
