I’m leaning towards a late september release because of the refresh of the ipods and/or macbooks. Also, it gives them more time to test and get it right while still sticking to the september deadline

I exchanged my iPhone on Saturday because I had had to do a full restore about four times since purchasing my phone on July 11th. After getting a new phone from the Apple store I proceeded to upgrade the software and restore my applications. Less than 24 hours after my phone was usable I found myself restoring yet again. Over night the battery had died. I plugged it in and, although it started charging, it hung on the Apple boot screen. That makes restore number 6, averaging one complete restore per week since purchasing the phone. I’m definitely hoping the updated comes early September rather than late. Then again, I also hope Apple takes the time to resolve all outstanding issues and make this version stable.

Hi Doc, I’m hopeful that it will be within the first two weeks of the month. I cringe every time I read how awful your iPhone experience is, so that means I cringe everyday I read your site! I postponed buying my iPhone due to all the horror stories I read, finally got one two weeks ago and fortunately have had zero problems. Here’s hoping that update fixes your problems.
