Apple Releases iPhone 2.0.1 Software Update

249.2 MB --- that's the size of the first update to the iPhone 2.0 software. Starting Monday afternoon users first started getting notified via iTunes of the update. iPod Touches and first-generation iPhones running the 2.0 software can update as well.

Obviously this update isn't going to have any effect on the case cracks some are seeing, but perhaps it will resolve the issues with GPS and 3G network connectivity many are seeing.

Typical of Apple, there's not much detail in terms of the changes. Searching around the Internet seems to indicate that some performance improvements have been made. Overall, things seem snappier.

At least one person has reported losing wi-fi access after the 2.0.1 upgrade, but at this point the report does not seem widespread. Another user said his iPhone was bricked after the update, but once again, no other reports in the thread.

Fortunately for me, no issues with the wi-fi, and things seem fine (for now).

Unfortunately, with these types of upgrades, there are bound to be issues with (hopefully) a minority of users (PS3 users can attest to this).

My WiFi is now erratic

Anonymous's picture

After the 2.0.1 upgrade on 2 phones, both phones have erratic WiFi. While it appears connected, about 50% of all web requests fail and generally the other apps that use WiFi can not connect including email. I've tried network settings resets. Considering going back to 2.0. I now have to use 3G at home because WiFi is not usable. Behavior is identical on both phones. Prior to this they were both 100% solid. Can get it back momentarily by turning WiFi off then back on, but that gets you only 3 or 4 successful web requests.
