Apple Releases iOS 6.0.1 with Fixes for Keyboard Screen Glitch, Camera Flash Issues, and More

MacRumors · Nov 1, 2012

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.

Lol Forstall, iPhone 5 shipped with a bug that doesnt let it get OTA updates.

Rondue · Nov 1, 2012

No battery fix, no fix for me using 2x cellular data doing the same things, no care.

frayne182 · Nov 1, 2012

lol didn't know threads get locked in other sections also talking about it.

whatever though. Out now. Downloading

Its the little things...pretty cool when you download iOS 6.0.1 the gears move....yes, its the little things.

mertyz · Nov 1, 2012

Changelog for the iPad:

- Updates version number to 6.0.1.

campingsk8er · Nov 1, 2012

Has it ever used that iOS Updater before? I've never noticed it.

Never mind, accidentally skipped over that part of the article.

rorschach · Nov 1, 2012

Installing now.

The "iPhone 5 Updater" downloads an app that forces you to restart, then takes you Software Update in Settings to download 6.0.1 when you tap on it again.

ECUpirate44 · Nov 1, 2012

Exchange fix!

SgtDecimal · Nov 1, 2012

"Resolves an issue that prevents iPhone from using the cellular network in some instances"

I hope I can now make calls where I live.

MattJessop · Nov 1, 2012

Still not showing for me...

Also, the fact that an OTA update says "Fixes a bug that prevents iPhone 5 from installing software updates wirelessly over the air" makes me laugh.

pensoftware · Nov 1, 2012

Using an over-the-air software update to allow over-the-air software updates. Software Update-ception!

The Bulge · Nov 1, 2012

What about wacky brightness control on 4S?

Prof. · Nov 1, 2012

Anyone else notice the gears in the OTA update menu now move while the update is downloading...?

ihonda · Nov 1, 2012

Jony Ive's first release!

tenmiler · Nov 1, 2012

Battery, battery, battery

I upgraded to the 5 because my 4S after iOS6 couldn't get through the day without a mid-day recharge, or even more.

My 5 is the same way. iOS 5 had tremendous battery life on my 4S.

I really am disappointed this hasn't been resolved, or at least not mentioned in this update list.

wolverinemarky · Nov 1, 2012

what does the iPhone dev team say is it safe to download or should we avoid it for a possible jailbreak later down the line???

Battlefield Fan · Nov 1, 2012

Good. Now we just need Safari 6 for Windows, iTunes 11, and 10.8.3

mcinally · Nov 1, 2012

I'm a little puzzled with the updater app, obviously I understand its purpose for now, but can I just get rid of it after the update has completed?

skate71290 · Nov 1, 2012

I love updates

hopefully fixes my Wi-Fi issue at work! Also, with the new iPads arriving tomorrow, we surely must be seeing iTunes 11 today, would be a massive troll moment if they release 10.7.1 lol

Yes, I did. I thought it was entertaining.

Installing now, even though I don't believe any of the fixes will directly affect me.
