Apple delays release of iOS 5.0.2 due to memory leaks?
Speculation that Apple would release iOS 5.0.2 this week has been replaced by a new report from German web site Macerkopf.de that the software release has been put on hold because of memory leaks in the code. The release was designed to improve the battery life on the Apple iPhone 4S, and to help fix some bugs on the phone and on Documents in the Cloud.

The battery fix is expected to give Apple iPhone 4S users 10 hours of active use. Apple's own information reveals that the handset should get 200 hours of standby time, up to 8 hours of 3G phone calls, as much as 6 hours of browsing time and 10 and 40 hours of video and audio playback respectively.

Macerkopf.de hasn't had a perfect record with its forecasting of Apple events. Earlier this year, the site predicted that Apple would introduce iOS 5 and a newly updated MobileMe at an event in early April, but Apple did not reveal the OS update and iCloud until June at WWD. According to Macerkopf.de, Apple is putting iOS 5.0.2 on hold because it doesn't want to release the software and then rush out iOS 5.0.3 to make minor repairs so soon after rolling out iOS 5.0.2.

Apple sure takes the time to make sure everything works good from the get-go unlike crappy android. ICS bleh! it's already having problems and this was supposed to be the "GREATEST most ambitious of them all- the one that unites everything" HAH laughable. Nexus galaxy is a POS and android is BLEH at most.

Do me a huge favor and stop posting.

5. AppleLover posted on 21 Nov 2011, 16:38 6 12

u made because I spoke the TRUTH

6. JeffdaBeat posted on 21 Nov 2011, 16:43 15 4

Haven't been here long huh? I am definitely an Apple guy, but I hate people who try to incite flamewars for no reason. Although I prefer Apple, you're trashing a remarkable OS without any real proof. Also, you leave yourself open for people to trash iOS on the same terms...so...there's that.

8. AppleLover posted on 21 Nov 2011, 16:52 4 13

wow jeffdaBEAT which part of what I said was not the truth?

the old hag wag GPU

the bug ridden ICS

the miserable camera

and do apple not make sure of their stuff gets polished???

why don't you do yourself the favor and STFU!
and don't be so angry life is harder that way

You're casting a pretty abrasive attack against Android.

Two things need to be a prerequisite before posting comments such as the last few.

1) An individual needs to possess a finer knowledge of Google's Android OS and....

2) An indivdual sure as better know far more about Apple through its 30 year existence.

If there is a lack in both standards, this means even an opinion on the subject, becomes anemic in relevance. A strong knowledge of any of these two operating systems and their respective history,, would be far better in elevating any real informative credentials that an individual may have.

So, until you can create a logical debate based on facts, it would be wise to forego any further posts of adolescent nature until the above requirements can be presented.

STFU please

16. Striker posted on 21 Nov 2011, 17:09 6 9

Dude, Android maybe "remarkable", only because it is 90% stolen from iOS.

22. sum182 posted on 21 Nov 2011, 17:57 2

Theres no stealing, linux is open source, just like unix......hope you catch my drift.

43. jroc74 posted on 21 Nov 2011, 20:31 2 3

If you think its 90% stolen from iOS....you clearly havent used or even seen an Android phone or the OS.

27. remixfa posted on 21 Nov 2011, 18:30 2 2

it is a sad sad day when jeff, one of the "apple side's" most respected and well versed posters gets trashed by some idiot troll for simply trying to keep a level of respect on here.

AL,
jeff is right. you need to just say goodnight.

7. GALAXY-S posted on 21 Nov 2011, 16:44 5 9

troll!

10. AppleLover posted on 21 Nov 2011, 16:54 6 10

Ur name is GALAXY-S and i'm the troll LOL here's a thumbs down for you

15. Paden posted on 21 Nov 2011, 17:06 9 2

This article is about an iOS update. It has nothing to do with Android whatsoever. What you said is off-topic and is a sad attempt to start a flame war.

I'm with JeffdaBeat. Please go away.

34. OldHAG posted on 21 Nov 2011, 19:40 2 2

this is a community where people can express themselves if you don't like it how about you GO AWAY?

40. iamcc posted on 21 Nov 2011, 20:21 1 1

Hello!

You must be tacos mom. Welcome! We value all opinions here at phonearena. Please continue your worthless posts, they make the actual posts seem THAT MUCH BETTER.

Thanks for your continued support,
CC

45. Paden posted on 21 Nov 2011, 20:53 1

Right. You can express yourself. I\'m not saying you can\'t.

However, discussions at the bottom of articles are generally related to the article. His was off-topic, trolling, and obviously trying to start a flame war.

23. GALAXY-S posted on 21 Nov 2011, 17:58 4 2

your name is applelover ! yea your def a troll

36. Slammer posted on 21 Nov 2011, 19:49 1 1

Truth needs facts. You have failed to present any. Instead, you took a jab at Jeffdabeat, who in all reality, is one of the largest of Apple supporters. This means you not only negated your opinion of Apple Vs Android, but also shows you never took the time and reviewed the history of PhoneArena's most prominent forum posters.

if apple is so perfect why is there a need for ios 5.0.2?? why didnt it jus stay at ios 5 ??

12. AppleLover posted on 21 Nov 2011, 16:55 6 10

It's called improving one self not releasing a bug ridden OS on a POS phone like the nexus a claiming it to be the GREATEST

13. Markee posted on 21 Nov 2011, 17:01 4 2

You get some sense graditute out of drawing lines in the sand and saying yours is better. Its a phone...really? You taking your stand on saying this and that over a phone? I garantee if you do have a boyfriend or girlfriend, it showers once a week. Just a gut feeling.

I do believe that most folks are looking for the best value vs the life of technology spanning over a 2 year contract.

18. SleepingOz posted on 21 Nov 2011, 17:47 1

yeah like IOS 5.0.1, right?! Stupid troll!

19. SleepingOz posted on 21 Nov 2011, 17:49 2

But oh, am I wrong or ios 5.0.1 was an EPIC FAILURE?

26. sum182 posted on 21 Nov 2011, 18:08 1

So wait....You bashing android for having ONE bug after being released for a week in an apple article about a bug in apples iOS over a month after release?....I'll take a scarce volume bug over battery bug

39. toaster posted on 21 Nov 2011, 20:18

Comments like this genuinely make me sad for this site.

48. XiphiasGladius posted on 22 Nov 2011, 03:05

Amen to that.

42. jroc74 posted on 21 Nov 2011, 20:28

Antenna-Gate.

Battery life of iPhone 4S.

I didnt wanna feed the troll, but just had to remind him. He seems to have forgot.

54. iLikeiPhones posted on 22 Nov 2011, 07:31 3

Dude, i enjoy iPhones but it's people like you that make android people hate us. ICS is incredible, who cares what OS you have or what company you buy from.... You should be able to respect each OS for what its worth.

2. theoak posted on 21 Nov 2011, 16:18 11 1

Obviously you are looking to start a flame war.

Your message may be bigger than mine ... but I bet you I'll get more thumbs up ...

3. AppleLover posted on 21 Nov 2011, 16:24 4 14

only spreading the "TRUTH"

14. Phullofphil posted on 21 Nov 2011, 17:03 5 2

i had a long responce written out bashing you and your appple loving. but i really dont think your worth thhe time. But people like you make the comment section on this site a pain to read.

28. remixfa posted on 21 Nov 2011, 18:32 3 2

ill spend a little time with trolls like gallito and taco because they have been around for a while.. the new troll doesnt get real face time.

24. SleepingOz posted on 21 Nov 2011, 18:00 1

11. gallitoking posted on 21 Nov 2011, 16:54 4 8

20. SleepingOz posted on 21 Nov 2011, 17:56 2 1

You're the one who's actually talking about Android on an apple article, stupid POS!

17. gallitoking posted on 21 Nov 2011, 17:18 2 4

25. gallitoking posted on 21 Nov 2011, 18:05 1 3

29. remixfa posted on 21 Nov 2011, 18:33 2 3

your excuse doesnt make much sense either gallito. just saying. :)

now see, you had a wide open opportunity to take the high road with jeff and for once.. not be a complete troll. cant say im not surprised you didnt take it. hmm.

51. ayephoner posted on 22 Nov 2011, 06:46 1

remix, i just found your post on 8mp need for a 23" monitor. i knew i could find you in an iOS article, so:

"a 1080p resolution is 1,920x1,080, which is just over 2 million pixels.

do you know of some 23 inch monitor with a higher res than 1080p?

how would you need 8 million pixels or more?"

55. ayephoner posted on 22 Nov 2011, 09:30 1

actually, i know they exist, so i should be asking:

can you show me a 23\" monitor on the market that uses more than 5 million pixels?

49. XiphiasGladius posted on 22 Nov 2011, 03:06 1

there he goes reinforcing his nonsense once again. . .

53. SleepingOz posted on 22 Nov 2011, 06:49 1 1

you were the one who started talking about android on this apple article, you dumb or what?!

30. EclipseGSX posted on 21 Nov 2011, 18:37 2

Its great because they delay updates? Am i missing something?

31. firelightx posted on 21 Nov 2011, 18:37 2 1

I do dislike AppleLover he's like Zeus, Giving one side a terrible name. Apple users cannot give android any flac for having any bugs in their software. Not only did 5.0.1 fail but now you're having a delayed update? I say we're even.

35. OldHAG posted on 21 Nov 2011, 19:45 2 1

apple is the greatest end of story

41. iamcc posted on 21 Nov 2011, 20:22

Apple is the greatest end of a story.

Thanks for that!

50. xiobnb posted on 22 Nov 2011, 03:30

no wonder you are a hag

37. mad5870 posted on 21 Nov 2011, 19:56 2

ok well i have an android phone and i had an iphone. both are great OS's and both have their positives and both have their negatives.

i'm glad to see that apple will take some time and not rush this update out. Thinking about the end user very smart.

38. theBankRobber posted on 21 Nov 2011, 20:05 4 2

Come on again with the Android is stolen from ios crap WHERES THE PROFF? ??????? WHAT PART OF ANDROID IS STOLEN FROM IOS????? AppleLover is just another user who was banned and made up a new name, so sad.

46. OldHAG posted on 21 Nov 2011, 20:55 2 1

WHERES THE PROFF? ??????? hehe

47. itzmando posted on 21 Nov 2011, 21:10 1

Can you please refrain yourself from posting pointless comments. From this article and others you post similar, yet useless comments that have nothing to do with what the topic is about.

PA is trying to enforce its new user rules for posting. If you keep this up, you will most likely be banned.

Try to be considerate of other readers, and be respectful. No need to start a flame war, when one is not needed.
