iOS 6.0.1 Released, Download Now For Your iPhone, iPod Touch & iPad [Direct Links]

Apple has just released iOS 6.0.1 to the public, one day ahead of the official iPad mini and fourth-generation iPad global launch. The update introduces a handful of improvements and bug fixes including keyboard screen glitch and camera flash Issues among others.

The 6.0.1 update is available both via iTunes as well as OTA. However iPhone 5 users updating from their devices are required to first install an “updater” application (shown above).

Was this only on iPhone 5’s or did it affect ios6 as a whole? Knock on wood but I’ve yet to see any lines on my iphone 5 keyboard. However I will update as soon as possible. Hopefully this doesn’t affect the progress of current jailbreaks. Although I doubt it will as developers usually wait for the first update before releasing anything. Hopefully the jailbreak isn’t far off now 🙂

Here too, on both my iphone 4 and ipad 2. Rather irritating. Deleted facebook, reinstalled, restarted phone but nothing helps.

“Resolves an issue that prevents iPhone from using the cellular network in some instances” so are my data woes finally going to be solved?

Thought I was safe from not using phone over cell network past 5 days and got message today telling me I went over my limit. Pissed off and this update has come a little too late.
