It seems that the Apple iOS 4.2 release which was scheduled for today, has once again been postponed. Originally, the iOS 4.2 from Apple was scheduled for 5 November, then there have been reports about the release of the new Apple Mac OS X 10.6.5 and iTunes 10.1 on November 10, and iOS 4.2 today, on Nov. 12.

As you know Mac OS X 10.6.5 came out in time and there is no issue with it, but the iTunes 10.1 has not yet been released by Apple to general public and as you all know new Apple iTunes 10.1 is a requirement a the new iOS 4.2 firmware.

According to some very creditable sources there is a serious Wi-Fi issue within the new Apple iOS 4.2 and that is why Apple  might be delaying the release of iOS 4.2 until November 16th.

Back in June when Apple came out with their huge iOS update iOS 4.0 and 4.0.1, 4.0.2 many iPhone 3G users have updated right away and found their devices very “laggy” and in many way the iPhone 3G was unusable and pretty much bastardized by the LAG and all the other issues with the iOS 4.0.

The iPhone 3G was pretty much crippled after the 4.0 or higher update was installed on the iPhone 3G device. Even something as simple as “typing” was (and still IS) very slow (Laggy) and simply frustrating to all iPhone 3G users.

Word got to Apple about all the issues with new iOS 4.0 and the iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G devices and later on, Steve Jobs confirmed and promised that new iOS 4.1 will fix many of these issues but even after the iOS 4.1 was released to public many iPhone 3G users still found their devices to be unusable due to the lag and just overall performance was crappy.

As you all know, Apple has released the new iOS 4.2 GM Firmwares to Developers last week and the seeds on the new iOS 4.2 GM Firmwares are all over the web for anybody to download and try out on their iDevices. You can actually find all iOS 4.2 GM Firmwares right here on iPhone Techie in the article / link listed below.

Anyways, folks at TiPB have updated one of their iPhone 3G devices and ran a performance test on the new iOS 4.2 GM to see how it compares with iOS 4.0 and 4.1. Their Thought??? Watch this video to see what they found. Read more…

Hey guys I have some bad news for all Jailbreakers out there who are anxiously waiting on the iOS 4.2 since the iPhone Dev Team said it could be Jailbroken right after Apple releases it.

According to a tweet from Comex the iOS 4.2 jailbreak may be delayed because Cydia is not yet ready for the new firmware and so as a result, the next update for Limera1n based iOS 4.2 jailbreak might be delayed but he didn’t really say anything else about it. At this point there is no estimated release date for the new iOS 4.2 Jailbreak but I’m sure it won’t be too long.

This would be a good time for all of you to save your SHSH blobs on your iPhones, iPads or iPod Touch devices running on iOS 4.1, tutorial is at the end of this article.
However, a 4.2 jailbreak might be delayed because Cydia doesn’t work on 4.2 yet. Not sure how close @chpwn is to finishing his fixes. Read more…
