Better late then never I guess. With the new iPhone firmware on the way and a release date somewhere near September 17th, it’s time to take a look at the new features. Like I said, better late then never.
There are people who don’t know what changes will come with the new firmware so for them this is a nice overview. For the people who already know everything about this 3.1 version, just pretend you’ve never seen this list before ;).
- Video editing on iPhone 3GS wont overwrite the clip over the original when you are editing a clip.
- iPhone will now vibrate whenever you switch to the mode where you can move and arrange icons on the iPhone home screen.
- “Fraud Protection” toggle has been added to settings under Safari.
- iPhone boot time is now faster.
- Voice Control over Bluetooth.
- New APIs to enable third party apps to access videos and edit them.* Updated AT&T profile to 4.2
- Updated modem firmware to 5.08.01
- Improvements to OpenGL and Quartz.
If you know more, please feel free to tell us in a comment.

Where is the bluetooth advanced profile so we can select next and previous tracks?
that is fraud protection?
Wow, you know what’s interesting? For me, this update doesn’t seem worth it. I guess the only problem I’d have is when certain AppStore apps require that you upgrade in order to use them. Otherwise, I don’t see a real reason to upgrade and jailbreak again and get ALL those jailbroken features back AGAIN!
I suppose I’ll upgrade only once it’s absolutely necessary…
Mms. Duhhh
My phone is already set up to use mms. All I’m waiting for is AT&T. :P
I think they took out the vibrating action when moving icons. It’s not in Beta 3.
