iOS 4.2: Update Delayed? – New Release Date for Download

We have some disappointing news to bring you now, as it has been reported that Apple has delayed the release of their iOS 4.2 update for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad due to a last minute issue related to WiFi.

According to this report from MacRumors, information has surfaced from Greek website iPhoneHellas, who have claimed that the update is delayed until Tuesday, November 16th.

Further information from AppAdvice, suggest that the problem is due to a last minute WiFi connection issue which is holding up the delay. This apparently is an issue which was discovered in the GM version of iOS 4.2 and has since led to numerous complaints on the Apple boards.

What are your thoughts on this? We were obviously expecting the update to drop today at some point, but it looks like that it isn’t going to happen. We’ll bring you more on this story later.
