Computer giant Apple has unleashed the latest version of its iOS operating system as a free download.

iOS 6.1 includes LTE (Long Term Evolution) 4G capabilities to an extra 36 iPhone carriers and 23 iPad carriers.

Philip Schiller, the company's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, said: "iOS 6 is the world's most advanced mobile operating system, and with nearly 300 million iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices on iOS 6 in just five months, it may be the most popular new version of an OS in history.

"iOS 6.1 brings LTE support to more markets around the world, so even more users can enjoy ultrafast Safari browsing, FaceTime video calls, iCloud services, and iTunes and App Store downloads."

The new OS is compatible with the iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad (third and fourth gen), iPad mini, iPad 2 and iPod touch (fourth and fifth gen).

Apple last month named its best apps of 2012 .
