Apple is rumored to roll out another minor update to iOS 7 next week, addressing several small and lingering issues in the company's latest mobile operating system.
iOS 7.0.3, sporting build number 11B491, has been released to employees and select external partners for testing, BGR reported on Tuesday. The new version is said to be made available in advance of iOS 7.1's expected reveal alongside new iPads at Apple's rumored October event.
The new build may address performance issues that have lingered since iOS 7's debut last month as well as new lock screen bypass security concerns that have surfaced since last week's iOS 7.0.2 release. For comparison, iOS 7.0.2 carries build number 11A501.
The same site incorrectly claimed that Apple would release a seventh beta of iOS 7 in August. Apple instead skipped from iOS beta 6 to iOS 7 Golden Master on Sept. 10.
Apple released iOS 7.0.1 with "bug fixes and improvements" as an over-the-air update for the iPhone 5s and 5c on the handsets' launch day, with iOS 7.0.2 following just six days later to address bugs related to lockscreen passcode security.

Start [URL=http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/10/01/ios-7-user-report-of-imessage-failures-simple-procedure-may-be-temporary-fix]here[/URL]. An outgoing iMessage text shouldn't sit in a queue with no timeout and no straight-forward way to restart the process.
Yep, just a few little things. iMessage not sending Screen Freezes Stuttering Slow safari To name a few.
Every update is important not minor. Especially fixing bugs. Just because a number does end with.0 does not make it any less important. Also I hope they make safari snappier! EDIT: LOOKING BACK IT LOOKS LIKE A WENT A LITTLE BI-POLAR THERE LOL!:D
I actually had a blue crash twice yesterday. The screen turned blue for about a second and the phone restarted, without my prompting it. Then it happened again less then three minutes later. When it restarted, I quite all running apps and haven't had a problem since. But it shook me to see my, not even two week old 5s go through it like that. And the message thing would be nice to see fixed as well.
How about the other bugs: not being able to send e-mail to iCloud groups, not being able to delete an entire paragraph at once, botched by dictation, being able to stop the icons from zooming in, dare I say being able to revert to an IOS6 skin...
