iOS 4.3 vs iOS 4.3.1

Just like any other software, the iOS (also known as the iPhone OS) also goes through changes and updates in order to make it current with new technologies. Over the course of its history, it has had several major and minor updates; the iOS 4.3 and iOS 4.3.1 being one of each respectively. The main difference between them is what they do. The iOS 4.3 is a major update that adds new features while the iOS 4.3.1 is just a minor update that fixed bugs that were later found on the iOS 4.3. The most general change in iOS 4.3.1 that affects all devices is the change in behavior of the battery meter. It should provide a more accurate estimation of the battery you have left compared to iOS 4.3

The iOS 4.3.1 update also provides fixes that are specific to certain apple products. The first is the graphic glitches that happen, although randomly, to the iPod Touch 4. It is not a major glitch can easily be solved but still, preventing it from happening is a good thing. Another graphic glitch happens when you use the Apple Digital AV Adapter to connect to a TV. Using a device with iOS 4.3 makes the screen flicker at times, causing a bit of a distraction when watching videos. This problem is also solved with the iOS 4.3.1 update.

Some users have also complained about connectivity issues and they were addressed with iOS 4.3.1. This includes connectivity issues with the cellular networks, which prevents calling and texting. There were also issues with regards to authenticating to an enterprise web service, preventing its use.

Lastly, iOS 4.3.1 fixes the issues that were encountered by apps. The list starts with some apps not being able to recognize the gyroscope on the iPad 2. Some games use the gyroscope as a control mechanism to enhance gameplay. Hanging problems related to memory were also fixed, allowing the iOS to read large files from the USIM without corrupting the data or hanging altogether.
