iOS 4.2 DELAYED DUE TO WIFI ISSUES

On November 1st Apple released a pre-release build of iOS 4.2 for developers. It didn’t take long for complaints to start rolling in about an issue with Wi-Fi using the new build. Basically, it wasn’t working correctly and users were finding it difficult to get a connection that allowed access to the Internet. A connection to a network is found, but then either doesn’t allow web browsing or disconnects itself after a few minutes.

Roll on to today, when iOS 4.2 final was expected, and it’s nowhere to be seen. It looks as though Apple has delayed it in order to figure out what’s causing the Wi-Fi issue.

iOS 4.2 may get a new release date next week, but it could be two weeks before it becomes available and another pre-release version is released in the interim. It’s the right thing to do as Apple don’t want millions of iPad owners complaining they don’t have access to the web after updating. [Geek]
