iOS 6.0.1 is out

[Adam]

One day before the launch of the iPad mini and fourth-generation iPad, Apple has just released iOS 6.0.1. The update had been reported to be in carrier testing two weeks ago.This update contains improvements and bug fixes, including:

- Fixes a bug that prevents iPhone 5 from installing software updates wirelessly over the air
- Fixes a bug where horizontal lines may be displayed across the keyboard
- Fixes an issue that could cause camera flash to not go off
- Improves reliability of iPhone 5 and iPod touch (5th generation) when connected to encrypted WPA2 Wi-Fi networks
- Resolves an issue that prevents iPhone from using the cellular network in some instances
- Consolidated the Use Cellular Data switch for iTunes Match
- Fixes a Passcode Lock bug which sometimes allowed access to Passbook pass details from lock screen
- Fixes a bug affecting Exchange meetings

iPhone 5 users updating from their devices are required to first install an "updater" application to fix a bug that would otherwise prevent over-the-air updates. Once the updater has been applied users can download iOS 6.0.1 from their devices.

Why do I need to plug my 5 into a PC/Mac, what a load of s**t.

iOS 5 was meant to eradicate that so people with iOS devices didn't need a PC.

 

[AK]

Apparently you don't?!

I've just downloaded it on my 4 with 0 issues.

Just updating on my phone, 47mb on iPhone 4s? Seems strange.

Same size for me on iPad Poo & 4S.

Tap "learn more" then you can download the updater first.

 

[DannyR]

Ahh thank you

 

[Adam]

lol

 

[Ronnie R]

Lol I fell for it as well!

Currently updating my 4 and 5. Only thing is that it's currently showing it'll take 3 hours on my Mac!!

Guessing everyone else is doing the same haha.

 

[welshname]

It took me about 10mins from clicking to being able to use the phone again. And that was OTA.

 

[Alex_225]

Strangely the download via iTunes is now saying 80 minutes but my 4 which is just going via wi-fi it seems to be a lot quicker.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

The update via my mac was over 900mb!

 

[Alex_225]

Well that would explain that then, it's only just finished.

How come the size difference going direct via the device compared to via iTunes?

 

[dk]

Via iTunes it downloads the whole thing I think but ota just downloads the updates.

took about 5 mins for each of my ipad3 and iPhone 5 to update.

 

[Deeg]

Finally updated to iOS6, seems nice, but sluggish on my 4.

I think I need to do a restore, as I also have 3GB of 'other' storage.

 

[Munson]

Six runs smoothly on my 4, Deeg. Or rather certainly not noticeably sluggish compared to previous OS versions - I'm sure a 4S or 5 are quicker.

Defo reinstall.

 

[Deeg]

Cheers Roy.

 

[paddymph]

Nice one

 

[Advikaz]

Did mine this morning, wonder if it'll sort my iMessage problem I've been having..

 

[Naith]

did my 3GS last night, probably losing my mind but it seems to run so much quicker and smoother. yeh bwoy.

 

[Ben]

I'm hoping this update has sorted out the keyboard shortcuts bug I kept getting.

No apostrophe when holding down comma? Drives me mad that!

The update via my mac was over 900mb!

Updating via mac/pc downloads the entire build. OTA is a delta update and applied to the existing firmware.
