iPhone OS 4.0


iPhone OS 4.0 is to be unveiled on April 8th.



















I posted most of this on Twitter earlier, but it's worth it to put it in a more organized fashion here. In bold are predictions that I am almost certain about.

  • Revamped notifications
  • New home and lock screen
  • Pseudo multitasking
  • Interface updates from iPad's iPhone OS 3.2
  • Resolution independence
  • Focus on universal apps
  • iWork for iPhone
  • iBooks for iPhone
  • iAds, a revolutionary advertising platform
  • Springboard wallpaper, rotation
  • Terrain view in maps.app
  • Dictionary and spellcheck
  • More gestures, to remove the home button from future models.
  • Better BT support, audio & keyboards
No hardware. No mention of Intrisity. No video chat. No openness. No unapproved apps. No "one more thing". Free update for iPhone 3G, 3G(S), and iPad. $5 for iPod touch. No app developers on stage. Release at WWDC.
