Major iPhone update in works?

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

  oh man, that sounds sweet! I can’t wait!
  That’ll make me feel a little better about that hole in my wallet.

• Jonathan Greene

  I hope it really is soon .. that sounds great!

• Kevin

  Sounds too good to be true… I cant wait

• Will Park

  Flash support!

  Although, extensive Flash use could kill your battery pretty quickly

• Mule

  You will be able to add mail accounts without iTunes

  Hummm this is already possible

• dug

  WELL I DONT KNOW WERE EVERYONE IS GETTING THESE RUMORS ON APPLE UPDATES FOR THE IPHONE BUT MY FRIEND JACK WORK AT ONE OF APPLES LABS WERE THEY TEST ALL AQUIPMENT AND SOFTWARE HE HAS ASSURED ME THAT THERE ARE NO MAJOR UPDATES COMING OUT FOR THE IPHONE JUST SOME PATCHES TO CORRECT SOME ISSUES SEE ANY UPDATE PATCHES GO THRUE THIS LAB BEFORE IT IS INTRODUCE TO ITUNES HE DID MENTION THAT THER IS A LOT OF HYPE ON THIS UPDATE THAT DOSENT EXCIST BUT EVEN IF APPLE DECIDED TO BRING IT OUT IT WOULD BE ABOUT 2 YEARS BEFORE IT WOULD BE OUT SORRY FOR THE BAD NEWS ANY QUESTIONS LET ME KNOW AND I WILL FOWARD THEM TO MY FRIEND

• dug’s better half

  Dug doent know what hes talking about copy/paste support is essential, as well as being able to search for something on a web page CTRL-F style… GG QQ Dug as well as your imaginary friends at apple.

• Chad

  Yeah I agree that Dug must not know what he’s talking about. Apple said even before the launch that they will be adding features for free through software updates as time goes on.

• Greg

  No updates to the Bluetooth??? That sucks! I really love the iphone, but I swear a couple magazines I read said it would support stereo BT, but when I bought it, AT&T told me that they thought it would! Does anyone know if the phone is even capable of having a BT profile update, or is this not even possible? I can’t get anything from the Apple.com site because they keep giving me a link to provide feedback (which I have done)… Apple is @$%#$%$ quiet about everything!

• Andy tran

  the funny thing is on the list of update it says there will be support for flash for the camera. Now tell me how is that possible when there is no type of lighting on the back of the iphone

• dusanb

  It’s Adobe Flash! You know, the .SWF files and stuff. It nowhere says there will be “flash for the camera.”

• dug

• Joe

  Right…I’m going to trust (let alone try to make sense of) what someone wrote that doesn’t seem to understand the concept of when to capitalize, the use of punctuation or the impact of run-on gibberish (some people *might* call them sentences).

  Not likely.

• Greg

  Can anyone please tell me if the iphone bt stack is even capable of being updated to provide stereo or is this not possible? Will there be a dock adapter available soon that would allow a2dp connections?

• Jonahz

  dug needs to learn English before making false statements, then maybe it would be somewhat believable.

• Jonahz

  Even though the phone IS a little pricey, I have one and do not regret buying one. I love the set up and edge is fast enough for what I use it for. Things freakin awesome. If they come out with updates, even better.

• Greg

  Anyone else notice you can call someone and go into the ipod function and stream audio to my mono headset to hear decent audio! The only problem is that the audio cuts off after the caller hangs up. I wonder if Apple will release an update to allow sound to route to the BT Headset because it obviously works!

• Rich

  The i phone is ok… But not great… I have one and dont know if anyone else has this other problem, but the dam thing over heats! Literaly… And sometimes you will be on the internet or on the maps and it will just go to the home menu!!! And that really sucks… Well hopefully they work on that… And i hope they do make a ringtone feture… Cause if not… Hackmyiphone here I come.

• dug

  Well is true no updates for the iPhone johnutz you need a wife your hand is not making you happy.

• Johnutz

  Dug,
  My hand is making me happier than your mouth.

• Will Park

  Oh man, you guys are hilarious

  @Greg
  We’re all crossing our fingers for the update to do a lot of things, I’ve noticed that problem as well.

• Leopard

  I really don’t see any big features added until leopard is released, because of their whole big hype with how well the iPhone will work and integrate with leopard. There may be some small things added up till then, but just nothing big. I do hope they unlock the stereo bluetooth ability as I’ve heard the chip is able to do that, because I’ve been eyeing those sweet Moto S9′s

• Jason

  I think it’d be awesome if Apple made an itunes browser for the iphone where you could purchase tunes, movies or etc, then the purchased tunes, movies and etc would sync to your home base itunes where the iphone connects.

• Wolfie

  This will be nice, it makes me feel a bit better about spending 600 bucks on a phone. The file browser feature would be nice.

• Tiger
