Apple has just released iOS 6.0.1 for all compatible iOS 6.0 devices. The update supposedly fixes a number of popular problems that have plagued a number of iOS 6 users, such as horizontal lines displayed on the keyboard, Wi-Fi reliability issues when connected to WPA2 networks, and more. You’ll find the full changelog below, as well as direct links to the iOS 6.0.1 IPSWs. If you’re waiting for a jailbreak, it’s highly recommended to stay away from installing the update. One thing to note is that, specifically for the iPhone 5, you’ll first be required to install a special preparation uploader (see screenshot below) in order to even install the iOS 6.0.1 update, at least OTA. You can still use iTunes to install iOS 6.0.1, though.

iOS 6.0.1 OTA prerequisite for iPhone 5s.
