Apple Releases Official iPhone 2.0 Firmware

MacRumors · 03:49 PM

The official iPhone 2.0 Firmware is now available through iTunes 7.7. We're still waiting to hear if the build number is the same as the early version leaked yesterday.

The iPhone 2.0 Firmware provides a number of new features and also provides support for the App Store.

Not showing up yet for me

Will just keep clicking the Check for Update button, I guess....

EDIT: Ok, it took 4 minutes more, but now it's downloading! Hooray!

EDIT 2: Yesterday I downloaded the 2.0 IPSW from the found link (though ended up not installing), which was 225.0 MB. The version downloading now is supposedly 218.2 MB. Different build, perhaps?

Really? I didn't know they were making new firmware for the iPhone?

How come they didn't announce this before? Why wasn't there any media coverage of such an event?

is it snappier than the old one?

sharp65 · Jul 11, 2008, 08:17 AM

Unfortunately it's impossible to get, keeps saying the store is down.

mikes63737 · Jul 11, 2008, 08:17 AM

It's not showing up for me... it still says iPhone 1.1.4 is the current version.

megfilmworks · Jul 11, 2008, 08:17 AM

Not yet in London.

GeekLawyer · Jul 11, 2008, 08:18 AM

Please do keep us posted on that build number. And/or what process us over-eager beavers should go through to get the correct 2.0 on our iPhone Classics -- in the event that iTunes doesn't deem us in need of the newer firmware. Thanks...

greenBabe · Jul 11, 2008, 08:18 AM

Not seeing it here yet .... still says 1.1.4 is current version ...

growinglogic · Jul 11, 2008, 08:18 AM

Nothing yet. I keep pushing the button. I guess i'll have to wait until I get the new iPhone.

notnek · Jul 11, 2008, 08:18 AM

possible news on the leaked version. when i click restore, it says the requested resource cannot be found. i would guess this means its different from the leaked version.

msmith2112 · Jul 11, 2008, 08:18 AM

Not showing here, either.

apple101 · Jul 11, 2008, 08:18 AM

is it still down for the ipod touch? because i tryed it twice and its saying a message when it comes to the itunes store.

mattbray · Jul 11, 2008, 08:18 AM

I just checked for updates and it said that 1.1.4 is the current release.

MobileMe has been up and down like a seesaw and now the Apple Store is down. You would almost think they hadn't had months to plan all of this...

RITZFit · Jul 11, 2008, 08:19 AM

same thing here...its like a freaking game or something

Ryn01599 · Jul 11, 2008, 08:19 AM

These Apps will make this phone absolutely amazing!

afkbradshaw · Jul 11, 2008, 08:19 AM

version 2 now up (UK)

network23 · Jul 11, 2008, 08:19 AM

I'm not seeing it. iPhone's connected (4GB model). iTunes 7.7 says that 1.1.4 is the latest version and my software's up-to-date.

I'm also trying to figure out how to get the .Mac icon in System Preferences to change to the MobileMe icon.

It's near impossible to get first post on Mac Rumors. Holy crap you guys must have no life at all! :O Anyway.. YES! SO HAPPY!

OS X Dude · Jul 11, 2008, 08:20 AM

Someone posted that 2.0 will allow ANY 02 payg sim to work in the iPhone w/o it being unlocked.

I emailed 02 about this and they are insistent that you have to buy an 02 PAYG iPhone SIM (in stores now apparently) for it to work on PAYG w/o hacking.

Can anyone who has NOT jaibroken/unlocked their iPhone and is using a regular 02 PAYG SIM confirm this?

lisamel · Jul 11, 2008, 08:20 AM

When it shows up in iTunes, will it be okay to get the 2.0 for 1st gen iPhone? Mine is on 1.1.4 jailbreak and unlocked.
Would very much like to get the 2.0 firmware though but I'm suspecting its too soon? I did see on here that the dev team has been able to unlock it?

mikes63737 · Jul 11, 2008, 08:21 AM

It found it and I clicked Download and Install. Nothing happened, and now it says that 1.1.4 is the current version again.

RITZFit · Jul 11, 2008, 08:21 AM

alright, it just showed up

k2k koos · Jul 11, 2008, 08:21 AM

Still can't get to it, the link on the Apple site gives 'itunes store temporary unavailable' via update on the ipod touch from within iTunes, it still gives 1.1.4 , current version is up to date or similar..

Squires · Jul 11, 2008, 08:21 AM

I clicked check for pdte and 1.1.4 is the current vresion!

Any other UK people got sucess?
