Apple has just released iOS 4.1 and iPhone SDK 4.1 beta to registered developers. There is no word to what changes the updated iOS 4.1 brings, other than we are assuming the iPhone 4 signal fix is included in this update. We do know that app developers will need to ensure compatibility with this update, so it must bring some major changes.
Apple has publicly posted a letter addressing the iPhone 4 signal drop issues. Apple claims the problem is software based, where the way the signal bars are displayed make the signal drop appear greater than it actually is. Apple wil be releasing a software update for the iPhone 4 soon.
