Apple has released iOS 6.0.1, its first minor update for iOS 6 which contains improvements and bug fixes.

The bug fix update mostly focuses on OTA updates issues for the iPhone 5, improving WiFi reliability and fixing camera flash and cellular network issues. Check out the change log below:

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 that sometimes allowed access to Passbook pass details from lock screen
Fixes a bug affecting Exchange meetings

The update can be download via OTA or connecting to iTunes on your PC. For OTA, simply go to Settings -> General -> Software Update.

Following the release of iOS 6.0.1, Apple has also rolled out the first beta for iOS 6.1 to developers. The beta includes an improved Map Kit searching in Maps, a feature that lets you search for map-based content. For example, searching for the word “coffee” would return the location of local coffee bars along with information about each one.

iOS 6.1 beta 1 can be downloaded from iOS Dev Center.

Di lang nilist ng apple lahat2, actually safari and other api’s were also updated . Di lang nalagay jan kasi non-sense xa and not really major. So they prefer major changes na ilagay sa update notificAtion

Question sa mga Jbreakers dyan,

Di ako nakasave ng blob for iOS 6, bale yung iPAD 2Wifi ko, nasa 5.1.1 parin.

Tried using TU para makakuha ng blobs for 6.0.1 pero eto reply sakin,

“CYDIA DOES NOT HAVE YOUR SHSH FOR iPad2WIFI2 6.0gm (10A403) THERE IS NO WAY FOR YOU TO GET THEM. SORRY. YOU ARE JUST TOO LATE. 11/02/2012 21:25:28.088 For version [iPad2WIFI2 6.0b4 (10A5376e)] – This device isn’t eligible for the requested build.

Paano ko kaya makuha yung blobs para sa current firmware?

Ano na ba talaga ginagamit ngayon? Redsnow or Tu for iPAD2? :D

iPod Touch 5th users who updated to iOS 6.0.1
I updated my 5th Gen iPod Touch to iOS 6.0.1

I noticed that the upper back area where the WiFi antenna is, felt kinda toasty.

I never had heat (felt warm to the touch) problems before the update.

Is it just me or is there anyone else here is having the same problem?

Happens to my 4S even on iOS 5.1.1. Upper part gets really warm especially when downloading apps via WiFi.

mabuti pa ang iOS may regular updates, ang android kung meron man ang tagal tagal tagal tagal! like my samsung note1 wala pa rin, samantalang ang iP4s ko ilang beses na, sabay sabay pa pati iPods ko

Updates from Android is slow probably because of the fragmentation of their OS (multiple manufacturers + OS customizations),

@kikokix
yup thats true fragmented ang android. pero samsung ang number 1 supplier at supporter ng android and note ang 1 sa flagship nila. ok pa sana if lesser brand and or lesser model. mas mabilis pa nga magupdate mga unknown brands like china fons and tabs lol.
