Firmware V1.1.2 Coming Friday - AVOID!

[Stevonw]

When we first got our hands on the UK iPhone back in September, it was already running the 1.1.1 firmware. The same firmware which helpfully bricked a number of hacked iPhones Stateside upon later release. Now T3 is claiming that the UK iPhone -- set for release on November 9th -- is kicking 1.1.2 under the glass. Besides support for French and German keyboard layouts and characters, the other notable change is the shuttering of the TIFF exploit used to jailbreak and then install (and unlock) third party applications on the 1.1.1 iPhone and iPod touch. With the possibility that Apple might release 1.1.2 globally with the UK launch on Friday, consider yourselves warned. It's not like there's a lot of incentive for you to update anyway (remember, it's optional) what with the latest jailbreak simultaneously exploiting and then plugging the TIFF exploit to keep your browsing safe. For whatever it's worth, the February SDK isn't too far away -- perhaps you should wait 'till then to get right with The Steve.

I don't mod, and TIFF exploit is a security flaw, so I'm upgrading.

Even if i was a legit AT&T user i wouldn't upgrade....theres almost no dif apart from the patch for the exploit (which you can do on v1.1.1 anyway if u really want )

I'll be among the upgraders...I'm just waiting until March when the SDK rolls out...I love my iPhone as-is. But I'm not taking away from those that do jailbreak...go for it! To each his/her own.

If the phone's not modded or unlocked, what's the harm (assuming the update's not buggy)?

The harm is that you're under Apples evil grip again LOL

If the only update you get is the security issue, I'm not going to update. Come on Apple, if your going to update, atleast ad stuff worth an update. Maybe something as simple as... oh, I don't know.... MMS and video recording?!?!
