iPhone firmware 1.1.3

Yep, it seems like the rumors are true. iPhone’s firmware 1.1.3 is almost seeing the light of day.

This new firmware brings some new functionalities to your iPhone together with some features that will probably make your life even easier. One of the main additions is the ability to move icons on the home page. You can even drag these icons to a second home page. On the messaging area it will be possible to send sms messages to multiple recipients. This is quite a useful thing to have. To be honest this should have been included from the start. If you use Google Maps you will be happy to hear that you will have an hybrid mode which shows you the combination of the satellite view and the map. Also in Google Maps you will have a button which opens the options menu with a flip-the-page effect. It looks cool. Another useful feature is the option to make a bookmark in Safari directly to your home page. You can have a second home page full of your bookmarks for easy access while keeping the first home page for applications. Neat.

Not evertyhing is good news though. By applying this new firmware all third party applications will be erased and if you have unlocked your iPhone be aware that it will also revert it to locked mode.

Gearlive.com has published some photos of the iPhone running the firmware 1.1.3. Due to people being sceptical about it (Photoshop is a powerfull tool) they have released a video which shows the actual ‘goods’.
