The new iPhone v1.1.4 firmware update has been dissected by Italian Mac website Macitynet, and it seems that the iPhone v1.1.4 is ready to rock on T-Mobile (NYSE: DT) Austria and O2 (NYSE: TEF) Ireland. Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) hasn’t yet confirmed that the iPhone is coming to either Austria or Ireland, but having the network compatibility codes stored within the latest firmware is a pretty indicator that the iconic device will be coming to those respective countries.
Further, it makes sense for Apple to include T-Mobile Austria compatibility in the latest firmware. We already have confirmation from T-Mobile CEO Hamid Akhavan that the iPhone will be coming to Austria by this summer. And, that only gives more credibility to the speculation that the iPhone will be hitting O2 Ireland’s network.
Still, the new code begs the question - is the iPhone v1.1.4 firmware “the one” that will work with iPhone SDK applications? Will there be another update before this summer? Well, if Apple were to hold off on updating the iPhone for a few months, we’d be surprised indeed.
