iPhone 3.0!

12:06 Jun 19th, 2009 | Notes

YAY it’s here!!!!!

After clicking on ‘Check for Update’ button in iTunes and getting ‘iPhone Activation Servers are currently unavailable’ for around ten minutes I finally managed to download and install the iPhone 3.0 software!

You all know the new advertised features, so I’m not going to bother with those. After using it for a day, I’ve made a short list of the undocumented changes for your viewing pleasure. Have any more? Leave a comment!

  • Closing application animation now fades out as it minimizes
  • Phone and iPod icons changed, stripes added
  • Lists scroll smoother
  • Smaller ‘Now Playing’ text on the lock screen
  • Artist and album information now available along with song title on the lock screen (brought up with a double click of the home button)
  • Encrypted iPhone backups
  • Song/podcast scrubber now has fine tuning abilities, hold scrubber and drag down to change scrub speed
  • Beverage vender

Have fun with iPhone 3.0!
