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

MacRumors · Nov 1, 2012, 12:08 PM

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.

Quote:

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.

Not gonna upgrade until I know for sure this wont affect my battery life. Don't wanna relive my 4S debacle.

gmanist1000 · Nov 1, 2012, 12:10 PM

About time.

NachoGrande · 12:23 PM

I hope this makes safari snappier

Very un-apply lilke install

Nathan20 · Nov 1, 2012, 12:11 PM

Lol Forstall, iPhone 5 shipped with a bug that doesn’t let it get OTA updates.

Rondue · Nov 1, 2012, 12:11 PM

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

frayne182 · Nov 1, 2012, 12:11 PM

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

whatever though. Out now. Downloading

Icculus · Nov 1, 2012, 12:11 PM

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, 12:11 PM

Changelog for the iPad:

- Updates version number to 6.0.1.

campingsk8er · 12:13 PM

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, 12:12 PM

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, 12:12 PM

Exchange fix!

SgtDecimal · Nov 1, 2012, 12:12 PM

"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, 12:13 PM

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, 12:13 PM

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

The Bulge · Nov 1, 2012, 12:13 PM

What about wacky brightness control on 4S?

Prof. · Nov 1, 2012, 12:13 PM

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

ihonda · Nov 1, 2012, 12:14 PM

omg better battery life instantly.

Jony Ive's first release!

tenmiler · Nov 1, 2012, 12:14 PM

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, 12:15 PM

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, 12:15 PM

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

mcinally · Nov 1, 2012, 12:16 PM

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, 12:16 PM

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.
