Ca rezultat al numeroaselor plangeri in ceea ce priveste semnalul GSM al noului iPhone 4, suportul tehnic Apple sugereaza ca in cateva zile va fi lansat un nou firmware update ce va rezolva aceste probleme. Mai exact, deoarece au aparut si la iPhone 3GS, rezolvarea vine pe cale software, o mai buna calibrare a semnalului baseband-ului.
Ar fi pentru prima data cand Apple lanseaza un update de firmware la o perioada atat de scurta dupa un major release.
Readers report that Apple’s tech support forums originally confirmed that a iOS 4.0.1 software fix addressing the issue would ship early next week (as early as Monday), before the comments were subsequently taken down along with all the other related discussion about the matter.
The fix is expected to address a issue in iOS 4 related to radio frequency calibration of the baseband. Readers who saw the original forum discussions say that the issue is believed to occur when switching frequencies; because the lag is allegedly not calibrated correctly, it results in the device reporting „no service” rather than switching to the frequency with the best signal to noise ratio.
iOS 4 introduced some enhancements to how the baseband selects which frequencies to use, so it makes sense that the error may have crept into those changes. Additionally, this explains why iOS 4 has also caused similar problems for iPhone 3GS users.
