We have breaking news on the iPhone firmware expected to be released around the time Macworld kicks off a little over two weeks from now.
Gear Live with help from Natetrue, now an iPhone hacking legend has revealed details on the iPhone firmware v1.1.3 which apparently has been leaked.
Read about all the new features in the latest firmware as well as the effects it will have on unlocks and third-party applications after the jump.
The SMS application in the iPhone is quite basic in functionality. If you are a heavy user of SMS then one of the features you would probably be missing would be the ability to send SMS to multiple recipients.
Not anymore as there is good news for you, as iPhone hacker Shawn Chain has released a native iPhone application called iSMS which will let you just that and lots more.
One of the popular categories here at iPhone Hacks since the launch has been games for the iPhone. The reason for this has not been because Apple has been rolling out terrific games for their revolutionary gadget but due to the hard work put in by iPhone hacking geniuses who have brought us the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) emulator, the Game Boy Advance (GBA) emulator and more recently ScummVM, the emulation engine that allows you to play popular LucasArts and Sierra games on the iPhone.
The good news on the native iPhone games continues as MacNN has reported recently that one of the independent software developer, ZodTTD, has released the first public version of the Playstation (PS1 or PSX) emulator for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

One of the features missing from the iPhone's rich feature list is a Global Positioning System (GPS), we have already seen Navizon release its virtual GPS product "Navizon" as a native iPhone application as an alternative to the lack of the GPS feature in Apple's iPhone.
However, if you are not too convinced of its accuracy due to the methodology used like many readers here @ iPhone Hacks then you will find Part Foundry's hardware/software GPS add-on called "LocoGPS for the iPhone" an interesting solution to the lack of GPS feature.

One of the easiest way to add custom ringtones to your iPhone in OS v1.1.2 is to use popular iPhone Application iPhoneRingToneMaker for Windows.
Tunji Afonja, Product Manager at Efiko Software has been kind enough to drop in a note to inform me that they have just released iPhoneRingToneMaker 2.0.1 with two new exciting features: Ringtone Shuffling and Volume Boosting.
If you were looking for an easy way to jailbreak your iPhone running on firmware v1.1.2 then the latest version of iNdependence v1.3.1 which works with iPhone firmware v1.1.2 could be the solution as developers of iNdependence have worked hard to simplify the process of jailbreaking the latest iPhone firmware.
There are a few features missing from iPhone's rich feature list such as 3G, GPS, video recording etc. Though we expect some features to be unlocked with future firmware releases in case of features like 3G, video recording, GPS we had accepted the fact that it will be available only in the next version of the iPhone.
However, iPhone hacker Drunknbass from Monster and Friends has other ideas, he is going all out to achieve the impossible. He is working on getting video recording working on the iPhone.

One of the complaints of the iPhone has surprisingly been iPhone's low ringer volume. It seems to be well below the standard, in terms of volume, established by other mobile handsets.
Most of the users have blamed iPhone's tiny speakers to be the culprit of this problem. However I had reported that the culprit in fact could be the audio itself and not the speaker and you could use a hack to fix this problem.
