Apple releases iPhone Software Update version 1.0.2

Focusing on stability ahead of new features, Apple on Tuesday began providing iPhone owners with yet another small maintenance software update.

iPhone Software version 1.0.2 is available by docking your iPhone to your Mac (or PC), selecting the device in iTunes, and then hitting "Check for Update."

The agenda for the latest update? "Bug fixes," according to the release notes.

The update takes about a minute or so, half of which is spent "verifying" the handset's existing iPhone software. Therefore, iPhone owners who've 'hacked' or otherwise modified their software may first need to restore their iPhone software before applying the update.

Tuesday's iPhone update is the second for Apple in as many months. The company in late July issued iPhone version 1.0.1 which added subtle refinements and major fixes.

What exactly does this mean? Are they prepping it for more features in a soon to be released update, or does it indicate they have given priority to bug fixes over introducing new features.

So I guess do they mean 'ahead' is "in the future" or "priority to"

There's a new 3G menu option in settings.
(and yes, that was a joke)

I think that was just an observation that Apple is more concerned with stability of the iPhone and bug fixes than trying to add new features... as evidenced by 2 bug fix releases since Jun 29 but no new features.

What does it mean, it means they are trying to stop the hackers as hackers=instability...
