Title: Apple releases iOS 6.2 with Wi-Fi fix Post by: HCK on December 18, 2012, 07:01:00 pm Apple releases iOS 6.2 with Wi-Fi fix
Apple on Tuesday released iOS 6.0.2, an update aimed at fixing a Wi-Fi bug afflicting some iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches. The whole of Apple’s release notes for the update read as follows: “Fixes a bug that could impact Wi-Fi.” To see the update, fast-acting iOS device owners initially at least needed to connect to iTunes. The built-in Software Update mechanism in the Settings app only coughed up a connection error. Presumably, the over-the-air update will start working once Apple fixes whatever is ailing the servers on its end. Apple’s failure to provide more specifics on just what the Wi-Fi fix addresses means we can only guess at what issues the update really aims to correct. Some iOS 6 users have reported issues with cellular data getting used even when their iOS devices are connected to Wi-Fi networks. And on Monday, Apple released a trio of updates aimed at correcting Wi-Fi issues for newer Macs connecting to 5 GHz networks.
