iOS 6.0.1 coming in weeks, brings improvements and bug fixes

According to a new rumor, Apple is currently testing the first update to iOS 6, which will be iOS 6.0.1. The good news is that the relatively minor update is expected to become available in a few weeks.

But what is it going to fix? Well, if this unofficial info is to be believed, iOS 6.0.1 will get rid of some really annoying bugs like the horizontal lines appearing at times when typing with the QWERTY keyboard or opening a folder. A bug which prevents the flash from going off in certain situations should also be taken care of, while Wi-Fi support is expected to get improved.

That, and a bunch of other improvements and bug fixes will all be part of the 6.0.1 update, expected to roll out in a few weeks. In addition to that, however, the source mentions that the more major, 6.1 update is also being worked on, though it doesn't believe for it to be ready until early next year. Sadly, there is no info yet what the 6.1 update is going to bring to the table.

i follow technology trends and I have the freedom to voice my opinion regardless of whther I use iOS or not...I haven't practically dealt with all matters of importance to mankind on Earth but I do have opinions on them based on learning which we humans do to evolve. And yes I do have an iPad and I am quite bored with it now...and there are a few other iDevices in my household belonging to my familia...hope that answers your question mate...So now do I have the permission to voice my opinion?

Statement only holds true for version 2.0 and before. Sorry. iOS is playing catch up to Gingerbread, and is no where near Jellybean.

Oh dont play victim here! People have opinions and they voice it...android users dont single out iOS users and bash them or something, yes you find most of the public opinion on this site in favor of android because android has a much larger customer base so its natural that statisticallly most of the people on the site are using android and therefore are in favor of it Fuuny how you say iOS users are being singled out on this website...I for one got banned because I said something against iOS usage...I was thinking this is iPhoneArena instead of PhoneArena but hey its the site moderator's choice to do what they see fit according to the rules... Hey mods I actually love the site and respect your reporting of tech news...but dont BAN me again :)

Why because he doesn't agree with you, he shouldn't be banned just for making you look stupid

Droid x since when did u degenerate into uselessly insulting apple bro? I remember reading posts of yours regarding apple, and iOS that made me really respect your opinion. Now u seem to have sunk into the crowd, instead of being the usual intellectual u normally are. SMDH!!!

Didn't you see the wink at the end of the post? I am not insulting iOS. I could have gone real hard on iOS. Instead, I used a facetious comment to play off Pow's post. As an aside, it seems that the iP5 is at the top of the benchmarks at the moment. Apple does have an out-dated UI. Conversely, they have a very robust security model (probably the most robust in the mobile industry at the moment). How is that for objective assessment?

blabla, if ios also would have widgets then apple fans wouldnt say that widgets su*ks and it is battery killer.... I remember when apple fans were shouting that 3.5" is the best screen size and bigger screen is only for noobs... After apple introduced iphone with 4" screen, apple fans started to claim that bigger screen is a nice feature.... /facepalm

Galitto why even bother aguing with these folks? They wake up every morning to prowl for apple/iOS/iPhone articles, just to sit there and post insults to make each other laugh out loud, and give thumb ups. Dude just enjoy iOS like I do, and let the ones who hate on apple do just that. U cannot win this pointless battle, jus let em hate, insult, and call us iOS users all the names they want. Is apple losing sleep over this? No. Am I losing sleep over this? No are u losing sleep over this???
