News: iPhone 3.0.1 Now Available, Fixes SMS Vulnerability

The new update is now available in iTunes. I am going to wait because I understand it will "break" the tethering hack. But for those that have been waiting for it, go get it now.

Or is this just the SMS update that was to come out tomorrow? I'm thinking that's what it is. The real update will be 3.1,right?

Mad dash to iTunes/Apple's server now ON. Thanks for the heads up

Thanks, out sooner than expected. Although after hearing that it could break the JB process, ill wait too

I suppose this is for the security flaw...I'll get it when I go home.

Thanks for the update!

This one shouldn't. I jumped the gun a bit so I edited the post. I forgot about this update. It was said to be coming out tomorrow. The big update we are waiting for is rumored to disable the tethering hack.

Thought I would let you know. You know the drill.

I haven't see any reports of this breaking the tethering hack. All 3.0.1 includes is the SMS vulnerability fix. They could have put it in there seeing as everyone would want to update to 3.0.1 to patch it. I am on 3.1 beta and they haven't release anything for us yet unless it was already in 3.1.

I can't seem to verify what's 'good' in it?

This fixes the SMS attack issue. I wonder are any other goodies attached.
