The only good bug is a dead bug. Or at least it is if we believe General Johnny Rico from campy but clever Sci-Fi outing Starship Troopers.

With that battle cry in its ears, Apple has tooled up and gone to war.

Fixes are promised in iOS 8.2 for a bug that impaired calls over Bluetooth calling and meant there was no audio until a call was answered. It also tackles a Maps snafu that caused problems navigating to users’ favourite destinations.

There's more. It patches the so-called FREAK vulnerability, nixes problems when restoring content from iCloud in the event that you had duplicate content on iTunes too. And it addresses minor calendar and quick-reply problems.

What it doesn’t remedy, or at least there’s no mention of it in Apple’s changelog, is the Wi-Fi connectivity issue that’s been plaguing handsets and seriously impacting on battery life.

Given the sheer volume of complaints about it, that’s more than a little disappointing.
