Apple has released another update of the iPhone, version 2.0.2.
Some early reports from people using the new version are seeing faster browsing over 3G. I have had a brief play around with the new version but haven’t had long enough to test it to notice any major difference.
Performance Improvements and Bug Fixes
There is no confirmation from Apple as yet if the new update is intended to fix the 3G issues, also I wonder if it will fix the reception issues. Both myself and a friend have experienced reception issues when the iPhone goes straight to voice mail and doesn’t ring, even when you have a full signal, and this has happened in areas where I use the phone regularly and don’t usually have problems.
The update is expected to address several performance issues that users have been experiencing. For instance, some users have reported that their iPhones have been freezing or crashing unexpectedly. The 2.0.2 update aims to provide a more stable and reliable user experience. Additionally, the update may include minor tweaks to the user interface, making it more intuitive and user-friendly.
Compatibility with Jailbroken iPhones
There is no confirmation yet whether this update works with jailbroken iPhones, and the developers haven’t confirmed whether it works with PwnageTool 2.0.2 so they have recommended that you stay with 2.0.1 until they have tested it. Jailbreaking an iPhone allows users to install third-party applications and tweaks that are not available through the official Apple App Store. However, updating a jailbroken iPhone can sometimes cause issues, such as losing the jailbreak or encountering compatibility problems with certain apps.
For those who rely on jailbroken iPhones, it is crucial to wait for confirmation from the iPhone Dev Team or other trusted sources before updating to the latest version. This ensures that the update will not interfere with the jailbreak or cause any unintended issues.
Update 13th October 2009
The iPhone Dev Team have released PwnageTool 3.1.4 for Mac OS X, which is designed to work with the latest iPhone firmware updates. This tool allows users to create custom firmware packages that can be installed on their iPhones, preserving the jailbreak and any customizations they have made.

In conclusion, while the iPhone 2.0.2 update brings some promising improvements, it is essential for users, especially those with jailbroken devices, to proceed with caution. Waiting for confirmation from trusted sources can help avoid potential issues and ensure a smooth update process. As always, staying informed and up-to-date with the latest developments in iPhone firmware and jailbreak tools is crucial for maintaining the best possible user experience.
