A spokesperson for O2, the company which has the exclusive contract for the iPhone over in the UK, claimed that a fix for the iPhone SMS bug will be released to users this Saturday as an update via iTunes. This is the first news (to my knowledge) that a patch would be coming to fix this bug.
Still, I’m disappointed in Apple. The fact that they make the iPhone and yet cannot come out and say to their users “Yes, this is busted, and we’re working to fix it,” does not exactly inspire confidence. I shouldn’t have to wait for an Apple partner to tell me that my phone is going to be fixed. As I said yesterday, Apple has to ditch the denial and start admitting that they write code with bugs, just like everybody else does.
Oh, if you used that trick we posted a while back on how to enable tethering on your iPhone, be forewarned that if an update to the iPhone is indeed released on Saturday, it’ll probably try to disable tethering. I’m guessing that’ll be the case just because it makes sense as AT&T does not want users to tether their iPhones. Well, not until we pay them a lot extra a month, anyway.
