Download iPhone OS 4 Now
Tuesday 22nd June 2010
The new iPhone OS 4 was available to download from yesterday and will give your iPhone around 100 new features. If you have not already got it, follow our instructions below and find out some of the new features.
How to Get iPhone OS 4
- Open iTunes (Ensure you are running the latest version of iTunes (iTunes 9.2), if you are not upgrade with the automatic prompt - the download will take about half an hour - then restart your computer and reopen iTunes)
- Plug your iPhone into your computer
- Select your iPhone from the devices in the source list to the left of the iTunes window
- Back up/sync your iPhone *
- In the iPhone summary tab click on "Check For Updates"
- When prompted to install iPhone OS 4, click "Download and Install" - Do not disconnect your iPhone until the update has finished
Notable New Features with iPhone OS 4
- Multitasking.
- Spell check (like on the iPad).
- Bluetooth keyboard support (again, on the iPad).
- User-defined wallpaper (a jailbreak favourite).
- Tap to focus when recording video, just like with photos, and a 5x digital zoom for the camera.
- Playlist creation and nested playlists.
- App folders for sorting apps! You can even put an app folder in the dock.
- Enhanced Mail! You can have a merged inbox view, switch between inboxes quickly, and sync to more than one
- Exchange account. There's also threaded messaging (at last!) and in-app attachment viewing.
- iBooks, just like on iPad, only smaller. You can wirelessly sync books between platforms, a la Kindle.
- Enterprise features, including remote device management and wireless app distribution.
- Game Center. It's like Xbox Live, but for iPhone games. Includes achievements, leaderboards, and match making. It will be available as a "developer preview," and out for consumers later this year.
Compatibility
iOS 4 works with iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 3G. Not all features are compatible with all devices. For example, multitasking is available only with iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS.
*Ensure everything is backed up on your iPhone before you upgrade, just in case you loose some data or files.
