Apple Releases iOS 4.3.3 Software Update

Apple released the iOS 4.3.3 software update today, iPhone 4 (GSM model), iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation), and iPod touch (3rd generation) just like they had promised. This update was released due to a bug in Apple’s location tracking system which saved locations in the cache whenever iTunes was synced. The following changes have been made to iOS 4.3.3:

• Reduces the size of the cache
• No longer backs the cache up to iTunes
• Deletes the cache entirely when Location Services is turned off

iOS users can update their iOS Device to iOS 4.3.3 through iTunes. Apple also plans to encrypt the cache in their next major iOS update, which is iOS 5.0.
