Just when I thought it was safe to put my iPhone back into the library (master bathroom), Apple goes and releases another patch. Time to fire it back up again…

This is supposed to be a bug fix, but some early reports I have been reading around the web seem to indicate that bugs are being added. Seriously though, some people are having issues so far according to iPhone Atlas.

As described by one Apple Discussions poster:

“I use to get 1-3 bars of 3g service in my house and now I cant make a call… I have to switch off the 3G to get any bars Things are going the wrong way!””

Even worse, many users are experiencing incompatibility with previously operational third-party applications. Two sample reports:

  • “Yes I have about 15 Apps loaded and now only 8-10 work with the new 2.0.2 software.”
  • “All my downloaded applications crash within 5 seconds of being opened. Restarting the phone and reapplying update have done nothing to fix it. “

    this kind of cools the iphone hubris. the vertical integration has been a real strength for apple – a single software platform that needs to only support only two hardware models (iphone v1 and v2) delivered through a completely controlled medium – and yet apple is having difficulty with platform stability.

    then again, how many updates do 95% of winmo devices ever get in their use-life? maybe none? so we can’t say winmo devices do any better – they just don’t get updated, let alone several times in a few months.
