Since it’s release last friday many have now installed the latest 2.1 upgrade on their iPhone. According to most, the early returns of the new OS upgrade look promising.

iPhone 2.1 Software

Before the patch, most iPhone users were ranting about the battery life of their device. But those who have tried the new OS said that they checked the battery status of their iPhone at least four hours since they have updated to the 2.1 software. Surprisingly, it turns out that the battery indicator showed a full bar. If it would have been the first iPhone OS, the battery could have gone between 50 to 75 percent of the battery’s life.

Aside from the change in battery life of the




device, iPhone users are also impressed with the Genius playlist feature of the device. They said that searching the contacts on their iPhone became a lot smoother. Moreover, they haven’t experienced issues regarding the text lag so far.

Now, for the reliability of the phone, with the latest iPhone OS, some iPhone users haven’t experienced dropped calls yet while others said that there are actually no improvements about this issue.

Most have also tried updating their applications as well. Aside from the faster application update, the new OS also allows the icon of the application to stay where it was first located. Therefore, there is no need to reorganize your screen each and every time you update the application.

      2.1 is great… Too bad its actually 2.0.3.

      This is a great first step towards a stable OS, now get some of the features that were supposed to be in 2.1 in there.

      Specifically the Push Notification service.

      Like everyone else, the weak spots I had with the iphone were Battery life( which limited it to daily recharge), the limited perciseness of the GPS, and some access in web base screens.
      THe 2.1 extended the battery life almost immeadiately- what would have been down to recharge was showing more than 1/2 a battery life
      The GPS hasn’t changed, but from the start- the signal reception has been extrodinary.
