It’s been almost two months since the launch of the much awaited iOS 6 for Apple devices. Today Apple launched the first update to the world’s most advanced operating system brining in some bug fixing and other improvements. I just updated the iPad 3rd generation and much to my surprise saw the entire device performing a bit faster. Scrolling through the home screen is a little more fluid (although it was quite smooth before). Below are some of the upgrades that come with the update.
- 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
While most of the updates are for iPhone 5 but there are tons of small little changes that you will experience once you start using iOS 6.0.1 on any supported device. If you don’t know how to upgrade your device then I have created a video that will help and guide you through every step.
