It has been over a month since the last iPhone OS update was released from our favorite fruit-themed toymaker. (Your favorite maybe. sub.ed.) Nevertheless, the software engineers are back on the job with a fresh update for both iPod and iPhone consisting of several anticipated bug fixes from an assortment of problems users have been faced with.

Most notably, the 3.1.2 update resolves a sporadic issue with the iPhone that may cause the device not to wake from sleep. We have personally experienced this unpleasant bug and it was a fatal misfortune to have dealt with while networking with friendly new business contacts, only to find the device in “coma mode” and unresponsive until synchronized again.

The second critical OS code correction resolves an intermittent issue that may interrupt cellular services until the device is restarted. While we are not confident that this might also resolve random signal drops when idle for long periods of time, it will definitely be wort hour time to investigate.

Finally, the 3.1.2 update addresses a bug that can cause occasional application crashing or OS lock-ups during video streaming. This issue has been reported consistently in the past, but some further issues with AT&T’s network may still persist.

On another note, jail breaking for this update is currently in development and iPod or iPhone users with jailbroken devices are not advised to apply the vanilla 3.1.2 update until official word has been posted by the internet famous dev teams.
