iPhone OS 3.1… from beta 3 straight to release
by Chiyin on Sep 9th, 2009 @ 3:42 pm
Immediately after today’s event the iPhone OS 3.1 upgrade became available for download. Unlike previous updates of the firmware, 3.1 did not have a GM version release for developers, it went from beta 3 straight to the release version. For the 3.0 release Apple seeded developers with a GM version to test out their apps, something they didn’t do for 3.1, probably because the update mainly improved on first party apps like the App Store and iPod App.
Now lets see what have changed since beta 3…
- Beta 3 build number is 7C116a, the new version is 7C144
- Carrier version went from AT&T 4.5 to AT&T 5.0 (we are in the US)
- MMS support is no longer available. Probably because of the carrier file update
- App Store now shows the “Genius” button up on the “Featured” page along with “New” and “What’s Hot”
- … More to come
