Jobs: Fix for iPhone Apps Crashing in September

"This is a known iPhone bug that is being fixed in the next software update in September," reads the one-line message from the Apple co-founder.

September 1st or September 30th ??? :eek:

We know that every executive in Apple's corporate office, and every software engineer that works for Apple has an iPhone 3G. They are experiencing all of the same problems that we are experiencing. The iPhone3G was released on July11,2008 (almost 6 weeks ago), and yet none of these obvious flaws have been fixed. This is completely unacceptable. In my job, if I design something and it doesn't work, and I don't fix it, I would lose my job! When something you design doesn't work, FIX IT !!!

great. This is something that HAS bugged me about the iPhone. Steve seems to be acknowledging a lot of bugs relating to the iPhone recently.

September 1st or September 30th ???

Definitely not Sept. 1st.

BL.

One would think Steve has more important things to do than answer email all the time but this is a good sign ( if true ) he's finally got so ticked off he's taking things very serious now.


Perhaps he reads MR too !


Hey Steve !!

Sounds like that the next update, 2.1 will fix this issue, and more?

Between this email response, the one from yesterday and Apple admitting a battery issue with the Gen1 iPod Nano's, I would say I respect Apple for taking action and not keeping quite.

Go Steve!!

Well, if they fix the crashing & 3G reception I'd be quite happy with my iPhone… :)

+ maybe longer battery life? … Steve? ;)

Well.. 3G reception is reported to work well in 2.1 Beta 4:

Could be at the expense of push, though. All remains to be seen.. but so far, so good as far as 3G goes.

I know! When the personal computer first debuted it was perfect within 6 weeks and it still is! God!!
