Friday morning, Apple released their iPhone update called version 2.1, in an attempt to make amends for the bugs that users reported on the company’s forums, which included dropped calls, slow performance and shorter than expected battery life. Nevertheless, Apple seems to have had more up their sleeve when rolling out the update, since, as it turns out, 2.1 also brings some new features to the table.

Consequently, the iPod app on the device now shows, underneath the song’s title, the album and the artist as well. Also, when browsing Podcast or videos, the iPhone displays a blue half-moon next to the videos that have been started, but not finished, which comes to replace the blue dot that indicated a video had not been watched or a podcast had yet to be listened to. Moreover, in terms of episodes, update 2.1 enables users to see the name and the total runtime of the episode, along with the date they were published.

Furthermore, the Parental Restrictions tool allows customers to prevent access to the gadget’s camera, while the Passcode Lock setting now comes with an option to erase all data stored on the iPhone after ten incorrect passwords have been entered. Other security upgrades include preventing apps from viewing each other’s information and reducing susceptibility to DNS cache poisoning.

The most exciting new feature of the update is the Genius application, which is also available for iTunes. By analyzing your music library, the Genius can generate playlists of 25 songs based on the track you have selected. Afterwards, it can be refreshed with new songs of your choice or replaced with one based on a different tune.
