iPod touch users experiencing graphics issues after iOS 4.3 update [video]

mobile

Reports are beginning to mount from iPod touch owners who are experiencing an odd graphics issue on their devices after updating to iOS 4.3. Screen sections of affected iPods seem to flicker and distort, almost as if the device is having a refresh rate or redraw issue. Some users are reporting that their screens appear “snowy” or “fuzzy.” There is a thread on the company’s discussion board where affected users are airing out their concerns; Apple has yes to publicly acknowledge the issue. There is a video after the break that demonstrates what some iPod touch users are dealing with.

    This can’t be true. Apple doesn’t put out buggy software.

      You are confused. Android doesn’t have buggy software. Google NEVER EVER has bugs. The OS is by default bug free and it can auto discover bugs prior to them affecting user performance and fixing the bug on demand. That my Apple Fanboy is the power of FREE and OPEN. Only FREE and OPEN systems/OS can do that.

    If you’re watching “King of the Hill” you’ve got bigger issues than who your iPod Touch is running.

  • RogerRamjet

    Yes. I’ve noticed it too. Shortly after the update. As if the thing was being electrocuted.

    YESS!!! I swear I saw this happening to my iPod 4!! I plugged it in to my computer and my Battery indicator seemed fuzzy around it. Then the Wifi area had the same thing happening! I was even going to write about this so it could be looked into. And voila I wasn’t the only one!

    My iphone 4 has been acting up since the 4.3 beta came out and now with the official 4.3. First my text tones are glitching out and not playing the whole tone skips alot, the touch sensitivity also seems slower to the touch. Youd think by now apple would figure these stupid glitches out of their 4th phone. Fix It Apple !!

  • Robmd17

    Mine is doing the exact same thing.

  • Guest

    Same thing with my iPod touch 4th gen.
