iPhone Firmware 2.1 Promises
Categories: cloud computing • gadgets • small office
Tags: firmware • iphone • update
I’m updating my 3G iPhone Software as I type this. The installation screen above is promising the following improvements. I for one am looking forward to the “significantly improved battery life” - my only real issue with the iPhone 3G hardware.
iPhone 2.1 Software Update
iPhone version 2.1 contains many bug fixes and improvements, including the following:
- decrease in call set-up failures and call drops
- significantly improved battery life for most users
- dramatically reduced time to backup to iTunes
- improved email reliability, notably 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 in 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
I’ll update this after I’ve had a chance to test.
[Sept 17, 2009 Update: I've now had a few days to test and the battery life does seem to have improved. But not by as much as I first thought. My subjective guess would be that the battery is lasting about 10% to 15% longer than it has before the 2.1 firmware update.]
