3GS owners finally have a reason to rejoice. If like me your iPhone running iOS 5 responded like a 386 running windows 98 and single finger typing was actually too fast then your prayers are answered. iOS 5.0.1 was distributed over the air to iOS 5 users over the weekend. You will see an alert from your settings app. This alert allows you to install the update anywhere as long as you have sufficient battery life and a decent signal to download the update. From up to 1 minute for my email or messages to open to almost instantaneous, was a massive difference. This patch was designed to resolve the battery drain issue for 4S users which was apparently caused by apps not turning off devices correctly. It appears to have made a big performance boost for all users. 3GS and 4 owners should update immediately. It's nice to have my phone back...well one of them.
