Apple releases fix for iPhone 4S iOS 6.1 connectivity cockup
If you're an iPhone 4S owner experiencing 3G connectivity problems since updating to iOS 6.1, Apple says it has a fix. On Monday, Apple released iOS 6.1.1 for iPhone 4S to address the difficulties that owners of those smartphones have had since upgrading to iOS 6.1 on January 28.
iPhone 4S owners may understandably hope that Monday's update might also fix some of the battery problems about which they've complained since the January 28 iOS 6.1 upgrade. Apple, however, didn't address battery issues in its announcement of the 6.1.1 upgrade; it merely said: "This update fixes an issue that could impact cellular performance and reliability for iPhone 4S."
Despite the fact that some iPhone 5 owners have also complained about battery life after moving to iOS 6.1, Monday's iOS 6.1.1 update is for iPhone 4S owners only – it doesn't even show up as available whan iPhone 5 owners access the over-the-air upgrade at Settings > General > Software Update.
