Okay, so the iPhone SDK wasn’t released yesterday after all, meaning developers are going to have to wait a bit longer to start creating native iPhone apps. However, Apple did quietly release the latest firmware update for iPhone, v1.1.4.
However, don’t get too excited: the update is basically bug fixes rather than new features for the handset. Apple hasn’t said what bugs have been fixed, but it seems Safari may have been tweaked to load multiple pages better, while the known bug with text messages appearing in the wrong order may have been nixed too.
Another theory, though, is that contained within the firmware update is the code required to run third-party iPhone apps when the SDK is eventually released. Good news for those of you with hacked iPhones - v.1.1.4 won’t turn your handset into a brick, either. It’s a 162.1MB file, and can be downloaded from within iTunes, anyway.
