Apple has released the new version of iPhone firmware, V. 2.2.1, a maintenance and stability update. The release improves performance with the iPhone's web browser, Safari, and addresses issues with photos saved from the OS's Mail application.

According to notes provided with the update, the new version addresses two issues. First, Apple says the update provides improved stability for the Safari Web browser and secondly, an issue was fixed where some images saved from Mail do not display correctly in the Camera Roll.
