Apple CEO Steve Jobs says that iPhone owners suddenly locked out of their third-party apps by a crash bug on startup will have a solution in September.
An AppleInsider reader has reportedly received a rare personal response from Apple’s head honcho, which says that the company is aware of the problem and has a solution. “This is a known iPhone bug that is being fixed in the next software update in September,” reads the one-line message from the Apple co-founder.
The email provides an end date regarding problems that have become increasingly apparent in Apple’s support forums and elsewhere, notes AppleInsider. Many report the iPhone 2.0 firmware suddenly failing to load non-default apps regardless of their nature, briefly loading them before abruptly jumping back to the home screen.
