OS 5.0.2 Coming Soon to Address Battery Issues & iOS 5.1 to Bring New Siri Integration


Submitted by Dan; November 16, 2011
German site Macerkopf reports that Apple is working on two separate software updates for iOS 5, looking at both near-term battery fixes and longer-term improvements to Siri. Macerkopf says that iOS 5.0.2 will be coming very soon, solving the battery bugs. iOS 5.0.2 should arrive before the end of next week. Macerkopf notes that Apple is also working on the first big iOS 5 Update (iOS 5.1), bringing some siri-extensions. They also note that Siri hardware-control is in works (i.e. "take a picture", "make a video", "switch on/off WiFi", "switch on/off BT" and more). The new update presumably coming as iOS 5.0.2 is set to be released "no later than next week" to address continued battery life issues even after last week's release of iOS 5.0.1 intended to target those problems. A release next week seems unlikely as there has not yet been any sign of developer testing for an iOS 5.0.2, albiet iOS 5.0.1 spent only about a week in developer testing as Apple rushed to release the update to the public.
