Latest iPhone 2.0 Firmware Has 3G On/Off Switch
Sunday, 11 May 2008
While the iPhone 2.0 firmware appears to contain 3G code, current iPhone owners will not be able to take advantage of the 3G speeds without buying the new iPhone. It appears that Apple will be using a common firmware for both the existing iPhone and the unreleased 3G-capable iPhone.
Also of interest is that due to the higher 3G power consumption, Apple is giving users an option to fall back to EDGE speeds in order to prolong battery life.
The 3G-capable iPhone is widely expected to be released in the coming months, possibly at the Worldwide Developer Conference in June.
To be honest, I don’t really care about the 3G feature on the upcoming iPhone. All I want / need are a few good apps and of course, “CUT & PASTE” on the freakin’ phone!
