iPhone OS 4.0 Revealed, Frags The Scene
Apple CEO and avid turtle neck wearer Steve Jobs revealed the latest iteration of the iPhone OS – 4.0 – which brings some interesting new features to iPhone users. Whilst fanboys from each side will carry on debating what this means to them one way or another, there is one clear fact, fragmentation has come to the Apple-sphere. It’s not surprising this has happened either, the indications have been there since the launch of the iPhone 3GS.
Whilst OS 4.0 will be available to all devices on the platform, some will get certain features like multitasking whilst others won’t – namely the older devices. Take a hint, upgrade and fill Apple’s coffers. As this little paragraph breaks it down for you:
iPhone OS 4 Compatibility
iPhone OS 4 will work with iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and the second- and third-generation iPod touch this summer, and with iPad in the fall. Not all features are compatible with all devices. For example, multitasking is available only with iPhone 3GS and the third-generation iPod touch (32GB and 64GB models from late 2009).
