iOS 5.0.2 Delayed Because Of Memory Leak Issues

It looks like we are going to have to wait a little while longer before the battery issues that we hoped would be fixed this week have finally been ironed out. We are lucky that we are not seeing a repeat of the antenna issues that we faced last year but it does seem that this year�s updates aren�t going as smoothly as planned either.


Many people are saying that we should have seen it coming especially when you look at how many pre-release beta versions of iOS 5 there were. It is clear that Apple was struggling to piece together the new features that were coming on board including iCloud, iTunes and more.

We were expecting iOS 5.0.2 to be released this week but it looks as though this is going to be put on hold with no ETA being reported. We have read reports that battery issues have been sorted out but that there are issues with memory leaks which require a little more looking into. It seems that Apple has decided to spend a little more time on this release rather than having to release iOS 5.0.3 almost immediately after iOS 5.0.2.

We are hoping that Apple get things sorted out as quickly as possible or they may just have to face the wrath of all those people who spend a lot of money on the iPhone 4S. As soon as iOS 5.0.2 does arrive we will be downloading it and reporting on the fixes and what you can expect to find.
