iOS 4.2 boosts iPhone network efficiency
It’s long been thought that something about how the iPhone polls, monitors and maintains 3G connections made it and AT&T’s network slow and unreliable. Thereupon, if this is the solution, you’d think someone would have figured it out before now.
Engadget reports that Nokia Siemens, which makes lots of money selling network equipment, has let it slip that iOS 4.2 now supports network-controlled fast dormancy.
The men in the know have said that the reason iPhones, and other phones on same network,drop calls is the assenine way iphones used to save power by making a total radio shutdown, and boot in every sleepcycle. Now they might do it correctly and not flood the control channel with unnecessary traffic” — BrunenG, Engadget poster
Nokia implemented network-controlled fast dormancy on its own phones earlier this year. Apparently, Apple made the change in iOS 4.2 without consulting Nokia.
Why wasn’t Apple all over this from day one, ahead of the curve even? Who knows…
What’s your take?
