Apple Releases New Update for iPhone 3G… Will It Fix the Bugs?

August 20th, 2008

Just yesterday, Apple released iPhone update 2.0.2 which is supposedly designed to improve communications between the smart phone and wireless networks.  This is good news considering, since the release of the iPhone 3G on July 11th, there have been nothing but complaints about glitches and poor connectivity and bad battery life. 

The bay area-based company didn’t even acknowledge a problem with is phone until two days ago… only after completing the 2.0.2 patch to offer worldwide.  And even then, the description of the iPhone issue was vague at best, as Apple spokespeople decline to specify the Apple part that the patch was targeting, whether it be the antenna and amplifier, the radio frequency transceiver, etc.  This is a little bit scary in terms of consumer confidence…  if they neglected to tell us about this problem until it was solved months later, are there any other significant problems that Apple is keeping under wraps?  For more info here’s an article printing an interview with Jennifer Bowcock, Apple spokeswoman.
