In addition to the recent firmware update for the iPhone and iPod touch, another slightly more cryptic update has shown up. This latest is not another firmware update from Apple, but instead a carrier update that is coming from AT&T.
For users who have not hooked up their iPhone in the past few days, the message simply read “an update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it now?”
All-in-all, the update seems to be harmless enough, I have not seen any reports of trouble coming as a result, and it will not affect any jailbroken status either.
So, just what does this carrier update do? Well, this is one time where it seems that AT&T is looking out for you, well, at least for users who have reception issues in their homes — this update enables support for AT&T’s MicroCell service which is able to blanket up to 5,000 square foot of home in AT&T GSM network coverage.
