Recent iPhone 4S iOS 5.0.1 update fixes SIM card errors

A lot of users of the new iPhone 4S have complained that the iPhone always pops up an error message saying “Invalid SIM” or “No SIM card installed”. After this, the iPhone would remain useless to use because the SIM card was not being detected. This was a major problem as this would happen very often, leaving its customer with no means of communication at add times of the day. Some people said rebooting the device would fix the problem for the time being, but it could occur again any time, even after just five minutes of rebooting.

Anyway, recently, Apple updated the iOS 5.0.1 firmware on many iPhone 4S devices, but mysteriously, did not change the version number of the OS. This has interested a few people. Why would Apple do that? Some people have suggested that since Apple has its international iPhone 4S launch coming up very rapidly, it wants to make sure the OS of the iPhone 4S is proper. So sent out the updates to other phones anyway.

But a lot of other people have a different opinion on this one. They suggest that this was to fix the SIM card problem that the owners of the iPhone 4S have been facing for some time now. And it so happens, that there is a new help page on Apple website that asks users to reset the iPhone 4S if they face the SIM card problem. Resetting the device will take up the new version of this SO with the update and the issue will be patched.

That is some good way to fix the issue without letting users know about that. But anyway, have you got your iPhone 4S updated with this new iOS 5,0.1 update? Do you see the changes?
