Apple has released an update for the iPhone, version 2.0.2, on Monday suggesting it has moved quickly to fix problems some have reported with reception issues with the new iPhone 3G.

In a pushed software update via iTunes, users of the iPhone 2.0 software and iPod touch 2.0 software are recommended to download the latest update.

"This version of the software includes the following improvements and supersedes all previous versions", Apple says in its usual pop up window before citing said improvements as merely:

"Bug fixes"

Vague and no word on what those fixes are and whether or not it fixes the widely complained about reception problems that supposedly affects 2% of iPhone users.

We will keep you posted.

  • I had my phone ring once, crash then vibrate until it was shut down on more than one occasion after the 2.0 update. It's not done it since 2.0.1 yet, just wondering what I'll benefit from with 2.0.2 Posted by Jason Ball, UK
  • I don't have the 3G but an official unlocked IPhone. I download my mails from work with Push-email over the wifi connection from home. Since the update to the 2.0.2 the wifi push email does not work anymore :(

    I have the impression that the wifi is being turned off when the phone goes to standby, which could be the reason for not receiving the updates.

    When in standby and I press the home button and the screen comes on again, the Wifi icon dissapears after half a second and comes back on. At this point I receive push-email when a receive a new mail during that period.

    Is this a malfunction or on purpose to make people get the 3G???

  • Jailbreakers.....

    Revert back to the 2.0 update and your emails will be working again. That is what I did. 2.02 does nothing that is beneficial for the NON-3G phones.

    Use Pwnage. It works the best.
