The U.S. Cellular-flavored Galaxy S III should start seeing its own Android 4.3 update today as well. The update will bring the USCC GSIII up to software version JR003L.R530UVXUBMJA brings with it a newer version of Jelly Bean, some bug fixes and likely the same Premium Suite goodies that've hit the other Galaxy S III variants to date.

U.S. Cellular also says that its customers can upgrade the old-fashioned way by plugging their handset into a PC and using Samsung's Simple Upgrade Tool to install the new update.
