Just in time for the New Year’s eve, we have a new iPhone firmware version 1.1.3 leaked. As with the previous releases, the upcoming firmware update will kill your third-party apps and make your beloved device work with Apple’s carrier of choice only. That means you should be careful when this update becomes alive, especially if you’re on a different carrier or if you care about your third-party apps.
And now the good things:
- The new firmware adds the ability to send an SMS message to multiple people
- Google Maps application can now pinpoint your location using cell tower triangulation, the so called “My Location” feature
- In addition, Google Maps can now display the Hybrid map view
- You can now drag and drop application icons on your home screen
- The home screen supports pagination
- You can now add web bookmarks to your home screen (very useful)
Finally, the release date — we’ve exact date, but some sources around the Web suggest it will be available starting from January 15. In the meantime, check out the short video demoing home screen pagination after the jump…
