iPhone 1.1.3 Update Is Not Perfect

I wouldn't go that far to say the iPhone was released without proper software support, a practice very "popular" with hardware producers these days, but it's always strange to see software updates that should improve the usability and features of a certain device, but come with new problems instead. Unfortunately, exactly the same happened with the 1.1.3 software update for the iPhone...

The good part is the problem noticed by many users after updating the software of their iPhones is not such a big one, after all. Being given the previous bad updates from Apple, when some iPhones registered with Apple's carriers lost data, and the unlocked ones died for good, this time we only have to be afraid that the SMS messages on the mobile won't remain in order as before.

To make things even better, it seems that not everyone experienced the problem that causes SMS messages to appear out of order, but there are plenty of people who's iPhones were affected. The topic related to this problem from Apple's support forums appeared almost 2 weeks ago, and in the meantime it grew to over 200 replies, and over 11k views. While most plagued iPhones seem to belong to UK based O2 customers, reports from owners located in other countries have also been noticed.

Apple acknowledged the program, and their explanation is this:"When sending or receiving text messages on the iPhone, the SMS messages may be displayed out of sequence. This can occur if the iPhone is not displaying the same date and time setting as the carrier network time."

All fine, but when do we get a serious update? For now, Apple's solution is this:"Make sure iPhone is setup to receive the network time. Choose General > Date & Time and turn Set Automatically to ON. (Note that in some locations, network time may not be available and in some cases, you may not see this option). If the issue continues after turning this setting on, the issue may be occurring because messages are being sent in quick succession (more common if the messages consist of only a few short words).", so I guess you should try it, if your SMS messages are in complete disarray after the last software update...
