iOS 4.2 Delayed to 11/16, Possibly Longer

[derekthered]

I'm using the gm on my iPad and haven't had any issues but I certainly don't begrudge apple for wanting to fix bugs, if that is indeed the reason behind the move to Tuesday. It could just be the guy making the predictions realized it wasn't coming out today and just made up the reason for it allegedly coming out on Tuesday.

A few more days without an iPhone that is able to call wont hurt me .

Here's the thing - I'm not going to update to 4.2 anyway til all of the tweaks and such I downloaded from Cydia are working on 4.2 firmware. Why have a useless jailbreak?

This would be on schedule if iOS 4.2 is slated for Tuesday the 16th

What a bunch of whining. People who buy phones that won't work with their carriers, people complaining that Apple is dragging their feet on the release, people just complaining. I'm glad I wasn't your parent at Christmas time, how miserable you all must have been in the run-up to the 25th. And after you opened your presents.

Seriously, if Apple HAD released this OS as is, imagine the complaints from the same people: WiFi doesn't work!! Apple sucks for releasing this without test/fixing it!. This is "ghey!" (Where did THAT one come from?)

How about everyone just try to act like adults for a change, think before you post, consider what your words sound like to other, more sentient creatures? OK?

Totally agree. All the juveniles in this thread who are pi$$ing and moaning could solve their own 'problem' by signing up for the developers program. Then they could have installed 4.2 GM and all the previous beta versions.

You do realize that most of them aren't going to understand what you are saying to them right???

exactly!

See, I knew something like this would happen. I just matters into my own hands and traded my 4.1 iPhone with someone who was lazy and had one just like it, same condition with 4.0.1 and $20. They already had AT&T, so it didn't matter too them.

If the problem is really as bad as it sound, I'm willing to wait

[Sk8r789456]

I've seen the rumours that it would drop today but did anyone seriously believe them?
FW is released on Tuesdays. the 16th was always going to be the date, I'm really unsure how the rumour of today was started.

I was thinking the same thing. I never saw anything saying it was going to release today and plus apple releases the FW on Tuesdays. People always believe everything they read on the web. All the noobs and idiots please just give away your phones

Yep. I'm a school teacher. I'm used to not being understood. Or maybe just not listened to.

Oooo...delayed until my birthday!
