Apple pushes iOS 6.0.1 update



Apple has released the first update to iOS 6 which is available for a free download to iDevices.


The update improves upon glitches pertaining to Wi-Fi and cellular data connections as well as an issue pertaining to Passbook security, whereby Passbook details were unexpectedly being accessible from the lock screen. It also fixes a bug affecting Exchange meetings that earlier caused unexpected cancellations for the entire calendar invite group, when just one user declined an invite.

Another noticeable bug fix is the one that caused strange static and horizontal lines being displayed across the keyboard. Other fixes include dealing with camera flash issues, adding control for iTunes Match syncing via 3G/4G data connections and improving reliability of iPhone 5 and iPod touch (5th generation) when connected to encrypted WPA2 Wi-Fi networks.




Here's a complete changelog:


  • 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




The bigger iOS update, referred to as iOS 6.1, that was also being tested earlier, has now been released in a beta version to developers for iPhones, iPads and iPod touches.
