There’s nothing like a minor point-update to the iPhone OS to play with our emotions, and Apple really knows how to play that game. The iPhone maker has rolled out iPhone OS 3.1.3 as what we’re hoping is the last minor update before we see iPhone OS 3.2, or even iPhone OS 4.0, rolling out of Cupertino. This new iPhone update is reportedly more accurate when it comes to battery level reporting, fixes issues with the Japanese keyboard, and helps certain third-party apps launch in some situations. Find more info on the update here.
While iPhone OS 3.1.3 might not be the update we’ve been hoping for, it’s at least one step closer to the multi-tasking pot-of-gold at the end of the iPhone rainbow. If the multi-tasking treasure even exists, that is.
Now for the PSA portion of this post: The iPhone Dev Team has issued a warning to all jailbroken iPhones out there. If you value your jailbreak and an unlocked iPhone, you will want to avoid updating to iPhone 3.1.3 OS, as it will take all the fun out of your iPhone. If jailbreaks and carrier unlocks mean zilch to you, continue going about your day. This concludes our public service announcement.
