iOS 5.0.1 Update Now Available to Install

iOS 5.0.1 Available to Install

Today Apple released their first update to iOS 5 ahead of expectations. Among the usual bug fixes, this update brings aid to the dwindling battery life experienced by many owners of the iPhone 4S. Users of the beta have reported that the improvements have been ideal and they can make it through the day no problem. If you weren't lucky enough to test it out early, go run Software Update on your iPhone (Settings > General > Software Update) and get it right now. It took a few minutes for our phones to realize an update was available so be patient and don't worry—it's there. iPad 1 users will also be glad to know that the update brings back multitasking gestures—something that previously required a little hacking to enable.

Note: Jailbreakers should not upgrade until there's an iOS 5.0 downgrade option. Keep an eye on the iPhone Dev Team's blog and Twitter feed for progress updates.
