Earlier today, Apple released an update to iOS 4 and the corresponding SDK to developers, bringing the current version of both to 4.1 beta. The update follows the release of iOS 4 last month.
There are a plethora of problems being reported about the iPhone 4 and iOS 4 and I hope that this update will address them. I’d particularly like to see fixes for the sensitivity of my proximity sensor and the Jawbone bluetooth connectivity issues reported earlier on Cult of Mac. I’ve personally experienced both of these issues on my iPhone 4.
It will also be interesting to see if this update includes the new signal strength formula or not and what effect if any this will have on the problems reported with the iPhone 4 antenna.
Registered iOS developers can grab a copy of the new beta at developer.apple.com/iphone.
I have not yet heard about any new features in this beta, but these details will likely surface soon. If you find out anything new about this update feel free to tell us all about it in the comments.
