Hello guys i have a noob question regarding updating the ios. I am currently still running on ios 4.1 because I had it jailbroken and I was to lazy to get it updated.
Now I have decided that I want to update to ios 5 and wait for the untethered jailbreak to come out. however, now that the ios 5.01 has come out I was wondering if there was a way to update to ios 5 without updating to ios 5.01.

Unless I'm mistaken, the iTunes update will always update to the latest release version of iOS. So in this case that would be iOS 5.0.1 if it's compatible with your device. There is no option to select an older version like iOS 5.0 during this process. So if you wish to upgrade, you'll get iOS 5.0.1 which from my reading is mainly targeting the iPhone 4S battery issue and a couple of other bugs, so it should be no biggie to upgrade to that.

I upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 5 on release day and haven't seen any issues with batteries and any bugs per say..
