Rumor: iPhone 1.1.4 and iPhone SDK imminent?

by Cory Bohon Feb 18th 2008 at 9:00AM

If you are still waiting around for the iPhone SDK, chances are, you won't be waiting much longer. Steve Jobs said in October 2007 that the SDK would be released in February 2008; which only has about 2 weeks left! According to MacRumors, tiny-code.com, which is an online repository for Installer.app, has leaked a bit of information about iPhone firmware 1.1.4 and the iPhone SDK.

According to the Tiny Code website, "Tiny Code no longer produces fixes or applications for firmware 1.1.3. We can't say much, but we are working with Apple and with their SDK for the next firmware release and SDK applications and we shouldn't be missed for long. We will no longer update our Installer.app repo for legality reasons and you should see us soon on iTunes."

Since that was posted, the website has been taken down (and strangely enough, now forwards to Apple's iPhone Developer site). Macenstein has a screenshot of the site before it was taken down. The Tiny Code developer commented on the Mac Rumors Forums saying that Apple ordered them to take down the site because they violated their NDA with Apple.

[via Mac Rumors]

Update: According to a recent Mac Rumors forum post, Kelly, the originator of the thread on the forum (and developer of Tiny-Code), has admitted that he lied about the iPhone 1.1.4 update and SDK information. He writes, "Tiny-Code never had any relations with Apple, Inc. or any other division of Apple. Never had the new firmware or any pre-SDK pack. Certainly never signed any NDA." You can read the full post over on the Mac Rumors forum.

If Apple releases 1.1.4 firmware, it will be very hard to jail brake. Its going to have a security! But best wishes goes to Ziphone for making 1.1.3 jail brake possible. Thanks Ziphone! Remember to donate to Ziphone!

This tiny-code nonsense should never had hit the mac "press" the way it did.

Did anyone stop and think to wonder what the hell Apple would want with a developer that, a) by-and-large, no one had heard of, and b) does not produce software of much substance or use?

Clearly, no one did. They just read what was written on a site (or screenshot), and reported it as truth.

I'm very saddened by the state of Apple "news" sites in general lately. A few months ago, some blogger posts up an unsubstantiated conversation with a Rogers customer service rep, no names, no facts, just hearsay, and what does the Apple "news" web say? Stop the presses! "Rogers to release iPhone in Canada" as if a press release just came down the pipe.

Cripes, any schmuck can just write something Apple-related on their website nowadays and the Apple news sites will eat it right up.

I hope this tiny-code fiasco was a wake-up call to would-be reporters to just use a brain cell or two before posting anything that seems to be too good to be true.

I am really tired of being in and out of Iphone jail. Currently I am back in "jail" with the 1.1.3 upgrade. I have found a host of confusion out there. Basebands/bootloader ?

It is time Apple put all this nonsense to rest and allow apps on the Iphone. I am really bored with my current basic apps and dearly miss the apptapp programs. It was was made it worth paying the big bucks to buy it. It is really a portable computer that has a cellphone function.

I can confirm that this is also in 7.5, although I have no idea what that means.

This is what I get for not knowing how to use 1Password. Yikes!

What I MEANT to say was, all I ask is that the SDK lets devs make free software. And, that we get some good free software when the SDK officially is announced. Heck, it doesn't even have to be GOOD, just free :(

I think we'll see the announcement of the 2nd-gen iPhone at the same time as the SDK announcement. Since each new design will need FCC approval, and Apple likes to make its own announcements its own way (as opposed to leaks based on public info at the FCC site), we'll probably see announcements well in advance of availability for each significant physical revision of the iPhone. Not sure how Apple will deal with people not wanting to buy the current model once the new one has been announced. Perhaps each revision will be priced significantly higher for a while. Say, two months. :)
