New iPhone 4, no more problems? / iOS 4.01 released

Just called my network provider to complain about the iPhone 4 proximity sensor issues I have been experiencing. Before I could go into detail, the advisor told me to take it back to the store I got it from and that “the replacement would not have the same problem.” I asked how he could guarantee that and he just repeated that “the problem will be resolved with a replacement.”

In related news, iOS 4.01 has been released and will be available when you check for an update in iTunes. It looks as though the main fix is for the way signal bars are displayed. iOS 3.2.1 has also been released for the iPad which improves Wi-Fi performance and also fixes some less well known issues. iOS 4.1 is now expected to include AVRCP which is great news, but you have to say ‘about time!’

    It could be a Jedi mind trick. Don’t fall for it.

    Seriously though, it could be that there was a faulty batch and they’ve got new stock.

    Well, according to Engadget this morning, something is going to be told to the public tomorrow. Let’s stay tuned.

    “Apple to hold iPhone 4 press conference this Friday
    Headline says it all folks. Obviously the company is going to be getting out in front of this antenna drama (finally). We’ve been invited and we’ll be there, reporting live! It all happens at 10AM PT, Friday the 16th.”

    Maybe it’s Apple insisting that it’s people fault that they holding the iPhone in a wrongly manner and that they should make a call without touching the device’s screen eh eh

    Well, my iPhone was one from the second batch that Apple sent out as I missed the first one. I have not had the antenna or proximity sensor issues.
