Unofficial iPhone bug-list





I always thought that I was a picky guy, but having checked out the AppleHound iPhone bug list I’m beginning to realise that I’m in fact easy-going and willing to let things slide!  They’ve spent over 40 hours (hopefully not continuous, or while driving) poring over the iPhone’s interface to pick up every bug, error and erroneous reaction it can conjure up.

Their intent is to flag up any issues to Apple, and so far – despite finding 68 reproducible issues – they’ve been impressed by how solid the GUI is.  Check out some examples after the cut.

Under certain circumstances the calendar application will crash when selecting the current day in the list view. To reproduce, delete all events that occur past the current date -> add an event in the past if one does not exist (this event needs to occur before the current date) -> switch to the list view -> tap on the current date (the blue line). The calendar application will crash. The expected result would be for the application to do nothing if no events exist on the current or future dates.

Under certain circumstances an incorrect button is displayed momentarily when the Notes application is starting. To reproduce, tap the ‘Notes’ icon on the home screen -> tap the ‘+’ button that appears in the upper right corner of the Notes application -> enter some text -> press the home button -> watch the upper right corner of the application as the ‘Notes’ application starts. The ‘Done’ button is still displayed from the previous run then after a second it is replaced with the ‘+’ button. The expected result is for the correct button to be displayed immediately or no buttons followed by the correct button.

    This is one amazing list—I want to know when Apple plans to provide a firmware fix to address the identified bugs!
