Apple releases iOS 6.0.1 with improvements and bug fixes
- rollypolly 14y agoAlso, Xcode 4.5.2 has been released to go along with it: https://developer.apple.com/downloads/ https://developer.apple.com/downloads/
- smackfu 14y agoInteresting, over-the-air updating really is broken on the iPhone 5. When you check for updates, it has you download an "iOS Update Enabler" app.

- gte910h 14y agoAnd it has a shockingly beautiful animation of the settings icon. Truly just surprised me.
- ceejayoz 14y ago"Shockingly beautiful"? I just updated, and that may be slightly overselling it.
- d0mine 14y agoHe is mocking Apple's keynote style.
- eungyu 14y agoIt's worth noting that the rotational speed of the wheels are different.
- tpowell 14y agoI'm willing to bet someone did their homework and those speeds are accurate. If you haven't seen it, check out the old school tape deck rotational speeds in the podcast app.

- smackfu 14y agoWhere is this animation? I missed it.
- joejohnson 14y agoThe animation is in Settings on the Update page while the update is being downloaded.
- joejohnson 14y agoMan, Scott Forstall really stopped paying attention to detail ;)

- natesm 14y agoDoes anyone else have an issue with "Message Send Failure" for almost every text message (not iMessage)? Wondering if this fixed that.
- ceejayoz 14y agoThere've been at least two iMessage outages in the last week or so (widespread enough that iMessage trended on Twitter both times).
- klapinat0r 14y ago> text message (not iMessage) I think he's talking about cell service.
- yottabyte47 14y agoMaybe replace link with http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1606 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1606
- creativityland 14y agoThe real list must be longer than this.
- ceejayoz 14y agoIt's better than the average patch notes out of Apple, which often essentially read "fixes stuff".
- joshmlewis 14y agoI'm guessing that the maps app can be improved simply by updating their end of things and not exactly the actual application on the phone. Is this correct? I remember hearing that the dev team is updating and fixing issues, so is it just a covert type of thing that's going on in the background?
- mikeash 14y agoThe complaints are almost universally about the quality of the data, which can definitely be fixed on the backend without requiring an update.
- nicholassmith 14y agoI'd say iOS6 has one of the more buggy first releases that I can remember, so I'm hoping there's a fair bit of work been done.
- zachwill 14y agoTend to agree with this. There's some great stuff they've added for developers, but even non-technical users like my parents have complained about some bugs — not to mention how awful an experience Game Center is.
- tisme 14y agoIs it known if this fixes the 'dead wifi' bug? http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/09/wi-fi-issues-plague-ios-6-upgrade/ http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/09/wi-fi-issues-plague-i...
- Groxx 14y agoThat was fixed pretty quickly: http://erratasec.blogspot.be/2010/09/apples-secret-wispr-request.html http://erratasec.blogspot.be/2010/09/apples-secret-wispr-req...
- tisme 14y agoThat's not it. This is an entirely different bug, the wifi 'enable' slider is grayed out and stays grayed out. Several iPhones in my vicinity (all 4s) have the exact same problem and so far I haven't found a way to fix it.
- Groxx 14y agoOuch, that can't be fun :/ I haven't heard any solutions to that one in particular, but I can't say I've looked. Hopefully, though.
- k-mcgrady 14y agoI was hoping this would fix the wifi problem I'm having (wifi is incredibly slow and the problem is not related to my network) but it doesn't seem to have fixed it. Probably going to have to get the phone swapped out now.
- glhaynes 14y agoAlso, iOS 6.1 beta for developers: http://www.macrumors.com/2012/11/01/apple-seeds-first-ios-6-1-beta-to-developers/ http://www.macrumors.com/2012/11/01/apple-seeds-first-ios-6-...
- pooriaazimi 14y agoIt's funny... Only (and only) MapKit has new APIs! https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/#releasenotes/Miscellaneous/iOS61APIDiffs/index.html https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/#releasen... (<- you must be a developer to open this link)
- Flow 14y agoWait a little while with this update if you use the Facebook app. Since I installed 6.0.1, the Facebook app crashes immediately after starting. EDIT: Hmm, after 10 crashes it started to work.
- rdrake 14y agoOdd. I just launched it on my device under iOS 6.0.1 and it ran just fine. (Using an iPhone 5, maybe that's why?)
- Flow 14y agoiPhone 5 here too. The app started to work after crashing many times in a row. Just weird.
- randallu 14y agoMaybe all the hard work they did to disk cache the layouts of list items is not resilient to OS updates and changing metrics (only joking, I have no idea why it would crash and then work, though it could be because someone posted something new and uncached to the listview...).
- leviathan 14y agoWell, the update here just broke 3G and no cellular data is working. Iphone 4. Dunno if it's my network provider's fault or the update's.
- baspt 14y agoCheck your mobile data settings. They get wiped after every update for me.
- jazzychad 14y agoMaybe this will help fix the battery issues. My iphone 5 battery life is horrid, even with LTE disabled and all mail data being set to fetch instead of pull. Is there some known issue about this? I can't be the only one.
- hospadam 14y agoI'm having a similar problem - but only when LTE is enabled... and I have spotty LTE coverage. When I'm in "the city" - LTE coverage is great and I get amazing battery life. As soon as my phone starts switching between 4G and LTE... my battery drains super-fast.
- awolf 14y agoYour issue is a known issue with LTE. In spotty areas the phone keeps switching from LTE to 4G, and then when in 4G searches for LTE. The searching process, which requires powering separate radios for each protocol, is expensive power-wise. If you keep bouncing in and out of LTE this is bound to happen.
- hospadam 14y agoIs there any long-term fix for this? Or do I just have to wait for improved LTE coverage (or keep LTE turned off in those areas)?
- awolf 14y agoIt doesn't seem like a software issue to me, so I'd guess no fix will come aside from LTE coverage improving in your area. It's just the cold hard facts of where the state of cellular radio technology is today. It's pretty amazing as is that the iPhone 5 can be so much thinner, lighter, support a larger hi-res screen, be twice as fast, and support LTE. The spotty LTE issue is just one of those compromises that I don't think much can be done about.
- swalsh 14y agoMy iphone 5 has actually been impressive in terms of battery, lasting several days at a time. Where are you physically located? I wonder if bad coverage could be affecting your experience.
- sciurus 14y agoGeneral Fixes: • Fixes a bug that prevents iPhone 5 from installing software updates wirelessly over the air • Fixes a bug where horizontal lines may be displayed across the keyboard • Fixes an issue that could cause camera flash to not go off • Improves reliability of iPhone 5 and iPod touch (5th generation) when connected to encrypted WPA2 Wi-Fi networks • Resolves an issue that prevents iPhone from using the cellular network in some instances • Consolidated the Use Cellular Data switch for iTunes Match • Fixes a Passcode Lock bug which sometimes allowed access to Passbook pass details from lock screen • Fixes a bug affecting Exchange meetings Security Issues Fixed: • Maliciously crafted or compromised iOS applications may be able to determine addresses in the kernel • A person with physical access to the device may be able to access Passbook passes without entering a passcode • Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution
- robomartin 14y agoMeh. What they really need to fix is Maps. In my family-and-friends ecosystem at least, that is the single reason NO devices have been updated to iOS 6 and nobody is buying any iPhone 5's. My rough guess that that represents about at least 30, if not 50 devices. Is there a website somewhere that is tracking Apple Maps quality vs. Google Maps? I know tons of people that have put updates and new-device purchases on hold due to Maps. I have a friend who owns a delivery company. All the drivers have iPhones. No updates, hardware or software. Apple Maps would turn his business upside-down.
- xoail 14y agoThe unfortunate thing is people need to use maps in order for maps to get better. I can already see few locations being corrected. But for now, looks like Apple's got a chicken and egg problem.
- mitchty 14y agoBasically yes, I've reported as many issues as I know for my area. They all get put in place in about 1-2 weeks I've noticed. I don't see why every ones bitching so badly, I have to do the same for google maps too every so often when its wrong. Maps is getting its data from a server, it doesn't really need to be tied to OS updates to improve its backend data.
- klapinat0r 14y agoCould you please elaborate on that? Not sure I follow. If people use it, get wrong directions, how does it improve? Are users able to make corrections or?
- lukecowell 14y agoListening to a podcast. Unplug my headphones, podcast stops. Yay. Receive a call. Hang up call. Podcast starts playing again. Annoying.
