Looking at iPhone OS 3.0 (sorry, no pics though, NDA!)

I dont believe anything until I see it. I will be getting the new iPhone the day it hits stores or after the lines die down, but i'll have it. I bet us jailbroken folks will be screwed on 3.0

See this is where I don't understand the argument against aluminum. If this is true, then how do the MB & MBP operate. Some may say, 'Well they have a screen and keyboard that the signal can go through.' So does the iPhone. I'm not trying to argue, but I think they may be able to rework aluminum into the design without interfering with signal that much.

Just my 2cents. :)

I hope someone has answered this for you by now...

The way that the unibody portables get Wi-Fi reception is that they have a plastic or rubber cover in the hinge. That's where the antennas are. The original iPhone had a huge plastic cover. FOr the number of antennas in an iPhone they cannot use aluminum again. The black matte back we saw was plastic. It's got injection points.
 
That is absurd that the 2.0 sotware was free for iPhone and $10 for the iPod Touch. I have 3 iPhones in my household (1 for me, 1 for my sister and 1 for one of my younger brothers). However, another one of my younger brothers also has an iPod Touch that was bought after the 2.0 software update so it came with it.

I think it would be ridiculous for them to charge iPod Touch owners $10 to update when they are features that should have been included with the product. You don't see them charge for updates to other iPods or Macs...

However, even if it was free for iPhones and $10 for iPod Touch, couldn't I just download the software update for the iPod Touch free from some other site or use my free download from when Apple let me download it for my iPhone?

The reason it's free for iPhones is because Apple's making money from you every month through your phone bill. Apple does charge for major software updates for Macs as does every other software developer, and, to my knowledge, Apple doesn't do software updates for other iPods.

With iPhone OS 3.0 preview coming up within next couple of days, I can share this:

Couple of days ago, my friend who works at Apple HQ in Cupertino sent me some of the screenshot for upcoming iPhone OS 3.0.

Sadly, attached with the email was also a PDF of NDA, which I had to sign and mail back. Therefore, I can't share the actual screenshot.

However, I can describe it to you, since Kevin Rose described it on live Diggnation. (which my friend attended, he's a huge fan of Diggnation)

First, the copy and paste. Kevin Rose got that right on! It is exactly how it works. However, Apple, always scared of battery issue, has limited the copy and paste to certain apps, such as Mail, Safari, etc. This is because iPhone and iPod touch uses lot of power on memory, therefore, the copy and paste is limited. But the how it works is exactly how Kevin Rose described it.

Now, the background process. The word is that Push Notification was failure. It did not work exactly as planned. Therefore, there will be a limited background support, up to 3 apps (may subject to change). The limit is to prevent iPhone from draining the battery like crazy hell.

Finally, redesign of the home screen. Not much changes, except users can now put personal background on the home screen, as well as adding more apps to the dock, expanding the limit from four to about seven, and stacks to organize the apps. This is how Apple will let users organize apps on the iPhone.

Now, my friend also sent me shots of what is the next iPhone. Someone already posted this pic, but the next iPhone will have a shell that is full unibody, carved from one aluminum. This means plastic will be gone (hopefully)

That's all I can share. Let's hope what I got on the email is right on for Mar. 17.

That was the only reason I ever j/b my phone. I am so glad this is finally coming!!

Don't know what to think about the cut and paste being limited to a couple of apps thou.
 
New to these boards.. so my credibility is 0.



But I can confirm that pretty much everything the original poster stated in his first post is legit.

I'm not going to answer PM's with further questions; This is all I have to say about the matter.


Don't believe it, oh well. I could care less. I'm just confirming that what the original poster has stated is correct for the real iphone fans that post on these boards.

edit: I will add only one more thing- The next generation iphone pic has NOT been posted in this thread yet.

I don't know if we're talking about the same leak, but it was pretty sweet when Apple accidentally put the iPod touch firmware up on their server and I was able to snag it for free!

I remember that, it was like christmas!

I want to be able to quick reply to a text without having to close the program I'm in, opentexting, reply, close texting, open whatever app I was just in. Kind of like quick reply for mobleMe. That'd be a nice change.

what is this "quick reply for mobleMe" that you speak of :confused:
 
My Top List For 3.0

How come no one said they want MMS... i want to send pics and videos already.

copy/paste - i could take it or leave it, would be nice though.

Attachments on email

Finder - Save files to your phone from emails and also from/to computer when connected, would love for it to show as a drive and transfer files from the phone or computer.

Send/receive calendar events for meetings, i know you can receive them if you are synced with a mail exchange server, but you should be able to do both either way.

Video camera.. and also camera options, such as digital zoom, or color correction, i dont want to have to buy an app for that.

Background processing would be huge.

Anyone know if macrumors is having a live blog for the event tomorrow at 1est?

What mail service would this work with besides exchange?

It's ridiculous that this hasn't already happened.

MacRumors will not be. Get on twitter and follow MacRumors, Gizmodo, TUAW, etc.
 
What's worse than waiting until tomorrow to find this all out?


...oh, right, waiting until late June/early July for it to actually COME out.
