Amazingly and as promised, Apple has released the iPhone 2.1 firmware through iTunes this morning. The iPhone 2.1 contains the following updates as listed by Apple:
- Decrease in call set-up failures and call drops
- Significantly improve battery life for most users
- Dramatically reduced time to backup to iTunes
- Improve email reliability, notable fetching email from POP and Exchange accounts
- Faster installation of 3rd party applications
- Fixed bugs causing hangs and crashes if you have lots of 3rd party applications
- Improved performance of text messaging
- Faster loading and searching of contacts
- Improved accuracy of the 3G signal strength display
- Repeat alert up to two additional times for incoming text messages
- Option to wipe data after ten failed passcode attempts
- Genius playlist creation
What’s even more amazing is they actually call out all the flaws I’ve been seeing, rather than the standard line of “Bug Fixes”.
I’m installing now … I’ll give a full report after a few days on the new firmware.
