Thanks. This note from MDN just wasn’t enough to make it clear. Also IOS 6.02 is not needed for all models of iMacs, MacBook Pros or Ford Pontos.
Ever helpful.
Ever the asshole
Ever the foul mouthed adolescent.
Ever the dottering geriatric prude
Or even Ford Pinto’s; I think the Ponto was an export model…
It was the Korean model.
With KimChee drive.
What’s a “ponto” ?
;-p
It’s what you do on 4th and long.
Wouldn’t that be quatro and longo?
That’s the porn version of the Pinto.
This also solves the slow syncing that plagued my iPhone 5. It is now very fast to sync.
I just noticed my iPhone hasn’t been on my wifi today. I can’t get the update OTA because I need wifi for the update.
So all of us whose iPhones 4 and 4S have been having serious connectivity issues with Enterprise WPA2 networks ever since the iOS 6 update are still out in the cold? Yep. Shame, I got excited there for a minute.
I’m still running over my data plan since iOS 6 because the damn iPhone can’t keep ahold of the WiFi network.
Use your AppleCare and take it to Apple and get another one. No problem.
Doesn’t fix the problem with the “other data” in iTunes which grows every time
I have to turn my wifi off on various locations because my 4S won’t connect.
False article.
I see no update…
… and yet I’m downloading 6.02 right now!

Nice new App from AppleInsider. Totally spanks MDNs skanky offering. Would suggest people move over to it, and forget about Ballmers Left Nut and his league of trolls.
If you are Russian.
Actually, I AM Russian. Do you have a problem with this?
What does BLN have to do with this upgrade. Maybe your suffering from analceohosis today?
You may be right. Just about to erase MDN from my iPhone / iPad / Macs. So may not read your reply. MDN has turned into a hateful fascist little blog site. TB.
This update has limited the wifi download speeds on my iPhone 5 and wifi-only iPad mini to 3 Mbps. Try it on only one device at a time. I hope they unscrew themselves quickly on this one.
Doing a reset to factory defaults and restoring from iCloud has seemed to fix the iPad Mini issues mentioned in original post.
It seems the 3g bug is still around. My iPhone 5 won’t find the 3g network once lost it or settled with edge. I have to turn the phone off and back on or use airplane mode on and off to get 3g back. Such a hassle.
What about the battery life???!! Where’s the fix on that???!!
