iOS 8.1.3 is available from this evening for owners of iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch-s, and by updating the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), seems to have solved a problem that gave many users headaches, but also generated a low adoption rate of iOS 8. I'm talking about the space required to install iOS operating system updates, starting with iOS 8 iDevices needing much more space than in the past for this procedure. Starting with iOS 8.1.3 Apple seems to have found a method to reduce the space required to perform the updates, but for now it does not know exactly how it was all done.
Normally iOS would have needed approximately twice the size of the file downloaded through an OTA Update, but in certain cases the operating system asked for much more space from the users and of course it did not receive it. In this idea, many people gave up installing iOS 8, so that the adoption rate of the operating system was significantly lower than that recorded for previous versions. To avoid future humiliation and declaring iOS 8 a failure, Apple managed to reduce the space required for the update, so that now anyone can install iOS 8 with less space than in the past.
