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

[Patriot24]

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?

Yes. 6.0.1 contains the fix. The updater app is simply a bridge to get there. It is removed upon updating to 6.0.1.

It'll probably be deleted once 6.0.1 has been installed.

 

[ECUpirate44]

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???

Always hold off.

No wonder Forstall got fired..

An updater app to make the OTA updater work? Seriously?

Lol. Just Lol.

 

[macsrcool1234]

It's a sad state of affairs when you need to install a patch just to allow the path to install.....

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.

I never even realized, and I'm a developer.

Forstall, sorry guys but since he's been with Apple it has been chaos. Too big of an ego. The claim to fame for iDevices and iOS lies with Ive and Jobs, Forstall took undo credit and caused more strife after Jobs' passing. Once Jobs was [sadly] gone, Forstall's department was slowly put into motion.

Ive and the rest will fair much better with H.I.'s. For the first time since "Leopard/Snow Leopard", I'm looking forward to what's next in Apple's OS's.

It pretty bad that the 5 shipped with a bug that prevents it from getting OTA updates.

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.

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.

WTF this 'Updater App' is now yet another un-deleteable app stuck on my device? Talk about clumsy

 

[waterskier2007]

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

Pretty sure this happened in iOS 5 as well

Fixed: Forstall departs Apple

Now running 6.0.1, can confirm the iOS Updater app gets removed after a few seconds!

 

[akf2000]

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

hahaha i'm in the 5th level of Forstall

 

[Simplicated]

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.

Mine didn't ask for a reboot.

 

[simmo0916]

Downloading now...

To be honest I havent really noticed any problems (apart from the app store always crashing).

I will give it a few days before passing judgement or commenting on it. Its only fair after all.

 

[carterja]

hopefully this ACTUALLY fixes the WiFi problems.

It disappears after you install the update.

 

[frayne182]

Installed and done.

[eloscurosecreto]

I could have sworn that MacRumors just posted that Apple was testing this update a couple of days ago... Anyways, I'll wait, might as well since I don't have power [Hurricane Sandy Aftermath - NYC Area]

Nope it was added in iOS 6

 

[akf2000]

Anyone in the UK see this yet?

I'm on EE and no sign...

Confirmed. Phew! lol

Same here, no worries!

Ugh

Does it go away after you actually upgrade to 6.0.1? I'm not on WiFi I can't actually install the patch

Edit: I see that it does, ok
