Apple’s Unfortunate Economy of Words
August 5th, 2008So we all understand the original version of the iPhone 2.0 software was mighty buggy. Applications had a propensity to crash far more often than they should, and that includes Apple’s own Mail and Safari. Even more irritating, text entry in Mail would sometimes become dog slow, and only a restart would set things right.
There were other general performance problems too. The innate snappiness of the original iPhone software had become lethargic, particularly when you opened your contact list. Not good.
Well, on Monday evening, Apple released the highly-anticipated 2.0.1 update. Exemplifying their propensity towards pithy comments, the only information provided was that it contained “bug fixes.”
Now I know many of you have been very concerned about the fact that Apple, with the exception of regular Mac OS X maintenance updates and security fixes, usually withholds the specifics of their various updates. This doesn’t mean there’s no way to find out what issues they addressed. There are enough Mac power users online these days that the specifics will no doubt be posted within hours of the update’s release.
