With the various issues and inconveniences that plague the Firmware 2.0 (i.e unreasonable crashing and buggy apps), it’s no surprise that there is already news of Apple preparing to release an update. Rumoring have been swirling around that the 2.0.1 beta of the iPhone firmware is currently undergoing testing phases.
Intrepid Boy Genieous reporters noted after looking at Apple’s server logs that:
[S]ome interesting build numbers for the iPhone and iPhone 3G. It appears that AT&T and Apple are testing iPhone device software version 2.0.1, builds 5B101 (iPhone) and 5B103 (iPhone 3G). Although we are not certain of much more information than this little bit, we do know that testing began prior to the launch of device software 2.0 and the iPhone 3G on July 11th. We have also narrowed down the known test users to the San Francisco (40 mins from Cupertino) and Atlanta (HQ of AT&T Mobility) areas. Hmm.
So hopefully we will see this version rolled out in the next few weeks.
