iOS 4.0.1 Download Available (Fixes Signal Display Issue)

iOS 4.0.1

Apple just released it’s first update for iOS 4 which “improves” the accuracy of the signal strength displayed on your iPhone. *Also part of update 3.2.1 for iPad users*

Don’t be misinformed, this does NOT correct the actual signal strength issue that has the entire iPhone 4 community up in arms.

On that note – AppleInsider just posted a public letter sent to Steve Jobs from US Senator Charles Schumer, criticizing the iPhone 4′s signal issue and the way Steve Jobs has handled the situation thus far. Schumer strongly encourages Steve Jobs to publicly acknowledge the issue and offer a remedy to current iPhone 4 owners, free of charge.

UPDATE: According to Gizmodo, Apple is holding a press conference tomorrow (July, 16th) at 1PM EST to make an announcement regarding the iPhone 4.
