However, according to Forbes post, the update seemed to be a very minor one. In the description, it only states about fixing some bugs and the improvement of the security for both the iPhone and iPad. However, the fix may seem to be the solution for the rapid decrease or incorrect battery status.

This have been happening with iPhone 5 and later devices as well as fourth generations iPads. This coincides with the use of Apple Watch, where the device automatically unlocks.
