The iPhone may undergo a significant blood refresh
With an update scheduled for the summer, Apple will fill significant gaps.
When the iPhone hit the market, most users welcomed the novelty with erupting enthusiasm, but many rightly lacked trivial features from the poison-expensive device, such as the ability to send MMS or the copy / paste feature. Since these bugs could not be fixed in the second generation of their devices either, it was expected that Apple would correct the deficiencies sooner or later in the light of user feedback. The 3.0 software significantly expands the range of features available on the device, and in addition to the long-awaited fixes, it introduces several completely new features. Even better news is that Apple is finally looking to really support the work of third-party developers by building nearly 1000 new APIs into iPhone 3.0 software: the solution has finally made it possible for independent programmers to access it at the deepest possible level. for your phone hardware. This, in addition to expanding the capabilities of iPhone apps by orders of magnitude, can even multiply the number.
For the sake of clarity, this time we highlight the most important novelties in the form of a list!
- A built-in virtual keyboard that works well in most applications
- Improved messaging
- MMS support
- Copy / Cut / Paste function
- Audio recording support
- Stereo A2DP Bluetooth (3G models only)
- Direct file sharing between two devices over a Wi-Fi connection
- Extended support for GPS navigation to external software
- Integration of the Spotlight Finder is already well known on Macintosh systems
- Application of "Push Notification" technology
- Anti-Phishing support
- Usability as a 3G modem (only for 3G devices)
The 3.0 software is expected to be available to the public this summer at the earliest, on standard terms: iPhone owners can upgrade to the new system for free, while iPod Touch users can use the service for $ 9,95.
