Release notes

Overview

Editorial synthesis with inline references and a source ledger when citations are available.

Contemporaneous reporting records that Apple released iPhone software 2.0.1 through iTunes on August 4, 2008. The update description itself was limited to a generic bug-fix statement.[1]

The same report separately labels faster backups and typing as early user claims rather than Apple’s published notes. This page therefore preserves only the documented maintenance scope and does not convert those observations into release changes.[2]
