Steve Jobs announced at today’s special event that iOS 4.1 for iPhone and iPod Touch will be released next week.
It will include a fix for the proximity sensor and Bluetooth problems for iPhone 4 users.
It will also fix the performance issue observed by iPhone 3G users after upgrading to iOS 4.
iOS 4.1 will also include the following new features:
-
High Dynamic Range (HDR) photos
-
HD video upload over Wi-Fi
-
TV show rentals
-
Game Center, Apple’s social gaming network.
Steve Jobs explained that HDR photos are created using 3 photos taken in rapid succession: one normal, one under exposed, and one under over exposed. The photos are then combined using some pretty sophisticated algorithms to create an enhanced composite photo.
Steve Jobs showed some HDR photos taken using iPhone 4 and they looked pretty good.
iOS 4.1 will be available next week for iPhone and iPod touch.
Update:
According to the Apple's Spanish site, iOS 4.1 will be released on September 8th whereas other Apple sites are saying "Coming soon"

under exposed?
yup, there's a mistake in the sentence about HDR. i suppose there should be under exposed & OVER exposed instead of under exposed twice.
but nevertheless, waiting for upgrade and jailbreak as well

Too little too late. I just bought a Droid X last week because with the performance issues my 3G was completely unusable.

correction: one normal, one under exposed, and one over exposed.
lol, didn't see that someone already had pointed it out
Yup thanks for pointing it out.
Yup thanks for pointing it out.
Iphone 3g is in a diff league to the Iphone 4 and even 3gs for speed.
The 3g was under speced from the start with ram etc,
Even a 3 year old droid would not compare to a new droid so unfair to compare.
and no I am no fanboi, I quite like the droids.
That's cool but is there any news or something like a hint if our hero will release a jailbreak tools for these update? Looking forward to that manny thanks in advance!!!
don't think any JB will be release soon ,, not after the 4.2 release on November. as the dev team are avoiding the cat and mouse chase
so yeah poeople just remember, if you are Jail Broken.
DO NOT UPDATE till told.
great, now where is the white pwn?
Game Center better support Tap Tap…
I have 4.02 and would love to Jailbreak. Shall I assume 4.1 will be supported by Jailbreak software and get the update next week? I can't upgrade my 4.02 anyways…
would like to see what gains the 3g actually gets before upgrading,then just waiting for the Jailbreak
No need to wait 3g can jailbreak 4.0.2 right now or you can downgrade to 4.0.1 and jailbreak which is easy also.
I have an Iphone 4, so from 4.02 I must move to 4.1. I bought the phone with 4.02.. Wondering if I should upgrade or not..
