Apple to Fix iPhone Charging Glitch

By the Betanews Staff | Published July 16, 2007, 11:50 AM

A little over two weeks after the launch of its iPhone, a number of minor issues have begun to crop up among early adopters. However, the most prevalent problem appears to be the device not fully charging when plugged in. According to Apple, this is merely an interface glitch that will be resolved shortly.

Apple said it is preparing the first software upgrade for the iPhone -- something typical mobile phone owners rarely see, even with known bugs -- although did not specify when it would be released. The comments were made to WirelessInfo.com, which has been tracking the charging bug. Apple explained that the phone is actually charged fully, but the interface is not reflecting it.
