Apple released the iOS 4.1 Beta 1 earlier this week to developers and it promised many changes including the way how iOS calculates and displays the signal reception indicator bars on the iPhone. It seems that following the string of recurring problems regarding the bad signal reception problem, Apple decided to wait no longer for the complete iOS 4.1 update and word has JUST reached the internet about Apple offering its iPhone users on iOS 4 an update to upgrade their iOS to version 4.0.1.

Seemingly, this smaller upgrade focuses on the signal reception issue and solves the problem on how iOS calculates the received cellular signal strength and then displays bar to indicate the signal level. In addition to this, the source of this update, Engadget, also report that an operating system upgrade for the Apple iPad is also in the pipeline, ready to be delivered to users anytime updating their tablets to iOS 3.2.1.

We’ve got a before and after screen capture of the signal bars indicating the signal strength. Clearly some improvements!
