Apple Releases iOS 6.0.2 Software Update for iPhone 5 and iPad Mini, Fixes Wi-Fi Bug

Updated over wifi with no problems. I used to have spotty wifi problems when using my iPhone on my sun deck, yet my MBP would be fine. In the 10 minutes that I've used my iPhone, it seems better. My main problem was streaming from Rdio, it would cut out all the time. It's been a little bit better so far, but I need more time to figure out if it has fixed anything.

It's significantly more likely the problem is related to the network that exists between you and Apple's servers.

Installing it now! I have noticed that my phone does not always recognize known WiFi networks. Hope this fixes it.

iPad 4 (Verizon)

No update posted yet for this guy yet.

iPad Mini and iPhone 5 on AT&T now on 6.0.2. No issues with OTA.

Ditto, no probs here OTA on iPad mini or iPhone 5.

I encountered a strange bug: After updating my iPhone 5 to 6.0.2, I changed the language from British English to Chinese, then the App Store reverted to the old iOS 5 layout, and all the app screen shots are in 3:2 aspect ratio! I tried changing the language back to English but it didn't. The only way to restore the new iOS 6 App store layout is to do clean wipe your phone!

Is it just me, or can anyone reproduce the bug?

Here is a screenshot of iOS 5 app store on iphone 5:

Didn't have any trouble updating through my Wifi, but then again, I don't think I ever experienced issues this update supposedly addresses.

Anyone on AT&T (and with unlimited data) notice that Facetime over cellular is automatically enabled after completing this update? I've never been able to enable facetime over cellular without it prompting me to change data plans (not happening).

I udpated OTA if that makes a difference.

faulty

tried to OTA....downloaded and looked like it installed but the phone never turned back on. turned it on manually......went into recovery mode. now i have to restore the phone. great update guys!!

Downloaded and installed in a few minutes after it was out. Everything works fine here.

Nope, still giving me the popup window to call AT&T or visit their website.
Glad that it works for you.
You tried making a facetime call over 3G with your unlimited data plan yet?

Only over the air are delta.
With itunes you download the whole 6.0.2 firmware file.

As usual

I had no problems with Wi-Fi with the iPhone 5. Nor with any of them. And this installed easily. And Maps works fine for me. And I suddenly noticed that I can get LTE at work now. Everything's fine!

-- not a news story.

I've got a DSL 50.000 line here...and speedtest shows exactly that: 38.88 Mbps down, 8.87 Mbps up...though I have to admit that is a little slow as my Television receiver is recording 2 shows in HD right now and that one is TV over IP. iTunes was downloading apps just as quickly. it's just the update that has been slow and I guess it is because of everybody trying to download the update at the same time ;-)

This happened to me when I first got my iphone 5 all set up. I was like REALLY....after finally getting all my apps organized etc. so I just ended up restoring from my 4S's backup and everything has been fine since. And that was on 6.0.1 also a similar same thing happened to my 4S when upgrading to 6.0 where the updates tab was moved to the left for no reason. The only way to fix was a restore and set up as new. Ugh, lots of random App Store bugs in 6.0 it seems. Quite annoying.

Just tried it. Not getting an error message but after a while I get a "Connection Lost" message. Not sure what to make of it.

Rebooted my phone and now Facetime over cellular is turned off again and turning it on requires me to change plans. Guess I'll just have to hope for a jb.

iTunes sucks. Specifically for photos, back up lack of management with your iPhone, hidden back-up files...it is crap. Automation for the populace.

Update took 6 minutes over wifi. No problems at all.

Awesome. Downloaded in a few mins.

So far it does seem to have fixed my Wifi issues! Thank the Lord & Apple!

Apparently 6.0.1 is still up to date for me on my iPhone 5.... both over the air and via itunes.

Any update is a welcome update.. installed with no problems on my problem-free wifi iPhone 5
