As expected, Apple has just released iOS 6.1.2 (build 10B147) for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

It fixes the Exchange Calendar bug that was reported few days back.

From the release notes:

Fixes an Exchange calendar bug that could result in increased network activity and reduced battery life

It is currently available via OTA. It is 12.8MB in size.

Jailbreakers should avoid upgrading your iOS device to iOS 6.1.2, until the evad3rs dev team confirm it is safe to do so. Jailbreakers should also take a backup of the SHSB blobs for iOS 6.1 or iOS 6.1.1 using TinyUmbrella before Apple stops signing iOS 6.1 and iOS 6.1.1 firmware file, if you haven’t jailbroken your iOS device with evasi0n yet.
