Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
We all knew it was coming, but the speed with which Apple has released the latest iPhone firmware update was a little surprising. Could this be the much anticipated 3G reception problem fix?
Connect your iPhone to iTunes and you should get notification of YAFU. That's Yet Another Firmware Update.
Yes, Apple has started to push out the iPHone OS
2.0.2 firmware update hot on the heels of the previous bug fixing
software upgrade. Guess what the official reason for this is? Yes, you
guessed it: bug fixes.
Apple does seem to like using that broad generalisation to pretty much
cover all of its mistakes. iPhone users the world over are hoping that
the particular mistake being covered this time around is, of course,
the 3G reception bug that has been widely reported .
"This version of the software includes the following improvements and
supersedes all previous versions: bug fixes" is all Apple is going to
admit to though.
The chances are pretty high that this is the software fix that Business
Week claimed was coming after well placed sources confirmed that the
Infineon chip used by Apple was at the heart of the 3G reception
problems being reported by many users.
Business Week suggested that the Apple software checks for more 3G
bandwidth than is required, triggering a switch to GSM when that switch
is not actually needed.
If you were one of those users who had an iffy 3G experience with your
iPhone, and have successfully updated your firmware to 2.0.2, please be
sure to let us know if the connectivity stability improves as a result.
No improvement would suggest that the Business Week story was wrong,
and their sources mistaken. Which would, of course, be bad news for
Apple as that would tend to lead us down the road of a hardware fault
instead.
Not something that Apple or iPhone users will want to hear...
