Citing unidentified sources, BGR reports that Apple has rolled out iOS 7.0.3 to employees and developing partners for "final testing." Non-Apple employees, also known as everyone else in the world, might be able to install the latest iOS update by next week.

As Latinos Post reported, Apple rolled out iOS 7.0.2 on Sept. 26. According to the Cupertino-based organization, the update features bug fixes that previously allowed someone to bypass the lock screen's passcode and reintroduces a Greek keyboard option for the passcode's entry. Latinos Post reported about a glitch allowing users to bypass the lock screen via the Control Center of iOS 7. The bypass could allow the user to access one's email, photos, social media and more.

In addition, the iOS 7.0.3 could include a fix on the iMessage activation issue. Apple issued a statement that a future update for their mobile operating system will feature a fix to iMessage. The iMessage problem started during iOS 7's worldwide launch on Sept. 18, and iPhone owners complained about iMessage not being "activated."

Finally, BGR stated iOS 7.1 could be featured in the new iPad tablets rumored to debut in October.

iOS 7 is available for the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5S, iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad 4, iPad mini and the fifth generation of the iPod touch.
