With an increasing number of Apple users complaining about bugs in their latest mobile operating system, many are looking forward to the launch of the iOS 8.1, which will reportedly coincide with the new Apple Pay, a mobile payment system for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

A recent report from Bank Innovation has revealed that Apple will be launching its newest version of its mobile operating system this Monday, October 20.

The date is unofficial, but the rumors are being talked about all over the Internet.

Just last month, we remember Apple launching its brand new iOS 8, which has had its share of problems.

The company has released two updates (iOS 8.0.1 and iOS 8.0.2) since its launch but users continue to complain about glitches and problems.

The updates contained bug fixes that some Apple users say didn't solve the problem.

With the current iOS 8.0.2 frustrating users, people are eager for a larger update to the iOS 8.1, which people hope will resolve most of the common issues people are experiencing.

According to Telegraph UK, the launch could also coincide with the launch of the new iPad, which is also expected to happen very soon.

Reports have it that Apple will be launching an iPad Air 2 and an iPad Pro, which will have larger screens and will utilize Apple's A8X processor.
