More Bars for the iPhone?
It’s well known that most people blame AT&T for horrible service with the iPhone. Available today for all iPhone users is a software update to upgrade the operating system of phones to iOS 4.1. The major change? More bars? Maybe. The update changes the height of the bars, making the smaller ones slightly smaller and changes how the bars themselves are measured. Gizmodo has the full story. The end result will probably be less bars, but the ones you do have will be bigger. This won’t actually change the reception issues, but it should give users a slightly better idea of how much reception they actually have.
In a related note it turns out that the iPhone also takes longer to charge on a usb cable plugged into a computer compared to plugged into an outlet. This probably applies to all electronic devices and shouldn’t be all that surprising. MobileCrunch has the full story.
