Apple has released its first update to iOS 5 since the operating system was released last month.
iOS version 5.0.1 fixes a number of issues with the platform that had blighted performance. Perhaps the biggest improvement is a battery life fix, meaning devices running iOS 5 stay charged for longer. Other changes include fixes to document sync with iCloud, enhanced voice recognition for Australians, and the addition of multi-touch gestures for iPad 1 users. iPad 2 owners will also be pleased to hear that the notorious Smart Cover hack is now patched.
For a detailed breakdown of the security content of the iOS 5.0.1 software update check out Apple’s log here. The new iOS update is available for free via iTunes.
iOS 5.0.1 seems to boost the battery life longer than iOS 4 did. With iOS 4 I could rarely go an hour without losing 10% of my battery which ironically was still better than my Android phone which lost an average of 20% battery life on average.
