Answer 1

Do you seriously think that Apple engineers/programmers write the update code, decide it is good, and then push it out for use and there is NO testing done?
The problem is, especially once 3rd party apps were allowed, there is no possible way to test every possible permutation/combination of iPhone that exists. If you did try this there never would be a new model or any new firmware.
As to your statement, "as obviously there was a fault somewhere...", since mine is working correctly as is most of the people I know, isn't it "obvious" that there is nothing wrong with the update?
But neither statement is correct. As with every update (on every device, on every piece of software, etc), some people with a particular combination of hardware/software/firmware will have a problem. Then the task becomes doing homework, tracking down and fixing the problem. Sometimes this does result in new firmware (3.1.3 anyone?), but then you have to be careful not to "break" the vast majority of iPhones that are working with the "fix".
Not an easy task all the way around.
