Amid other announcements at Apple’s “Lets Rock” event, they announced that the iPhone 2.1 firmware will be released this Friday as a free update. The much anticipated version upgrade will address many of the issues that have been plaguing iPhone users, including:
- Significantly better battery life
- Fewer call drops
- Bug fixes
- Faster backups to iTunes
- No App crashes
No mention of background push notifications were made, however, which were originally planned for a September release. Let’s hope this finally fixes the lag when selecting a contact after composing an SMS message…it could happen!
