Apple has issued a new iOS 6.1.1 update, with the software patch landing just hours after network provider Vodafone warned iPhone 4S users off updating to iOS 6.1 due to on-going 3G signal issues.

With the recent iOS 6.1 update reportedly causing a swathe of iPhone 4S users to experience troublesome signal loss issues when attempting to utilise 3G connections, Apple has responded to complaints, rolling out iOS 6.1.1 in a bid to amend the recently introduced issues.

Made available overnight, the new iOS 6.1.1 update appears to currently be exclusive to iPhone 4S users, with our test iPhone 4 and iPad mini units currently showing iOS 6.1 as “up to date.”

Speaking on the new iOS fix, Apple has stated: “This update fixes an issue that could impact cellular performance and reliability for iPhone 4S.”
