“WWDC Keynote WiFi woes may have been due to iPhone 4 drivers”
Phil Kearney said, “My experience in the wireless space leads me to believe that there may be a bug in the firmware or the driver for the WiFi chip in the iPhone 4.” Belanger said of what he saw of the iPhone 4 in the video, “The failure mode was different” than what typically happens with congestion or a connection problem, like “there’s something funky like having that many SSIDs.”
The article mentions that both of the control iPhones 3GS in the demo were not having trouble with wifi. I’ll have to trust them on that, as I haven’t watched the keynote video yet, but furthermore you can expect that, if 500 MiFi access points were active, the people using them must have been actually able to use them — if they all had been failing, some of them would have gotten turned off, and the journalists would not have been so reluctant to turn their MiFis off when Steve asked.
Hopefully it’s just a software problem, as the article proposes, but I have to wonder why the iPhone 4 and 3GS used in the demo would have been using different versions of the OS.
I already have an iPhone that’s incapable of connecting to my wifi network; I don’t need to buy a brand new one that’s just as screwed up.
