iPhone software was updated to fix glitches

Aug 20,2008

Apple Inc has updated the software for the latest iPhone to help fix a problem. It's a connection problems,that led to a flurry of online complaints from customers, a European mobile service provider said on Tuesday as Credit Suisse reported strong U.S. sales of the device. T-Mobile said users can download this updated software to their iPhones on Tuesday, but that it was not yet clear if the upgrade would fix all the connection problems. "We have had complaints about connectivity in the Netherlands but have not had more complaints than usual for a 3G phone in Germany. Our technicians said today Apple has issued a software update but it is too early to tell if the problems are solved," a T-Mobile spokesman said. AT&T Inc the only U.S. network operator carrying the iPhone, confirmed that Apple had provided a software update but declined to give details about what it was aimed at fixing. Apple, which sold about a million iPhones around the launch weekend in July, was not immediately available for comment. Credit Suisse said in a note on Tuesday that iPhone sales could exceed 2 million units in the United States in the third quarter, which is roughly twice the sales of the iPhone's version 1.0, the initial release last year. That would be consistent with AT&T comments, Credit Suisse added. One of the key attractions of the latest iPhone is its faster, third-generation (3G) Web connections when compared with the first iPhone that was launched in mid-2007
