If you’ve just snagged a Verizon iPhone 4, here’s your first patch.

On Thursday, Apple released iOS 4.2.6, its first update for the Verizon iPhone 4 handset. The update, a 401.4 megabyte download, fixes a bug to ensure Personal Hotspot data usage is accurately reported.

As always, the update can be snagged via iTunes by attaching the iPhone, clicking on the unit in the device window and clicking the “Check for Update” button.

iOS 4.2.6 currently requires a Verizon iPhone 4 to install and run.
