iPhone 1.1.3 update leads to problems?

by Cory Bohon on Jan 19th 2008 at 6:00AM

It would seem that the latest iPhone/iPod touch update is doing a bit more harm than good. There have been reports that the 1.1.3 firmware is far less stable than the previous 1.1.2. Some of the problems with 1.1.3 being reported:

  • Error message during/after install of iTunes 7.6 and firmware 1.1.3
  • Loss of sound output from the iPhone's built-in speakers
  • Bluetooth devices that worked with 1.1.2 no longer work
  • Mail problems
While these problems certainly don't sound good, there are some remedies that seem to work. For the loss of sound, you can try turning the phone off and then back on or plugging headphones in and out. iPhone Atlas has listed some of the reported iPhone problems and some of the remedies that you can try. As always, be sure to check TUAW often for the latest iPhone news.

iPhone: it is all about the firmware

by Scott McNulty on Aug 23rd 2007 at 6:00PM

Many people are eagerly awaiting the big, big software update for the iPhone. You know the one, it'll add full Exchange support, chat, and free money for everyone! However, Russell Beattie thinks we're all overlooking one point: the ease of updating the iPhone.

Russell makes a great point, and one that I have been thinking about myself. We all have lots of electronic devices which are all running some flavor or another of software. When was the last time that software was updated? And how was the software update experience? Now compare that to the fast click at which Apple is releasing updates, minor though they may be, and how easy it is to apply them. Night and day, at least in my experience.

Once again the Apple experience is leading the pack here.
