iOS 4.1 Announced for iPhone & iPod Touch, iPad Will Get iOS 4.2
As expected, Apple announced the much required update for iOS 4 at the Apple Event yesterday. iOS 4.1 is a huge update, and fixes all the operating system issues with iOS 4.0.2.
iOS 4.1 fixed some minor bugs, along with the proximity sensor issue and bluetooth bug. Apple also claims that iOS 4.1 will run fine on iPhone 3G. Moreover, Apple has integrated 4 new features in iOS 4.1, which i think is a big leap from iOS 4.0. Here is the list of added features:
- HDR Photos: iOS 4.1 will enable you to snap HDR (High Dynamic Range) photographs, which means that you will get a more crisp and vibrant photo with iOS 4.1.
- HD Video Upload Over Wi-Fi: This was the much required feature in iOS, and Apple finally brought it with iOS 4.1.
- TV Show Rentals: Pay just $0.99 for watching commercial free TV shows on iPhone/iPod Touch.
- Game Center: Play online multiplayer games via Apple’s Game Center, which is a social gaming platform from Apple.
iOS 4.1 GM is currently available for developers. General users can download it from next week onwards.
iOS 4.1 will only be released only for iPhone & iPod Touch, while iPad will get iOS 4.2 which will be released later in 2010, November to be precise. Here are some of the features of iOS 4.2:
- Wireless Printing: print your documents over Wi-Fi.
- Airplay: Steam music via Wi-Fi, and play it on compatible devices.
