Apple announces the release of iOS 4.1

by Megan Lavey-Heaton Sep 1st 2010 at 1:23PM


During today's press conference, Steve Jobs announced the release of iOS 4.1. The new operating system for iPhone and iPod touch comes with the following features:
  • High Dynamic Range photos: The phone will take three photos in rapid succession -- one at what the phone thinks is the normal image, one underexposed and the third overexposed. The image is then combined to create the high dynamic image. Mel Martin demonstrated the power of this type of program in July.
  • Bug fixes including those relating to the proximity sensor, Bluetooth and the iPhone 3G.
  • High-definition video upload over Wi-Fi.
  • TV show rentals and purchase
  • Game Center debut
The OS will be available next week through iTunes.

too bad this software gave my Iphone 3G down syndrome, meaning very, very slow.

Woohoo. Getting my GM 4.1 update installed now. Hopefully no more bugs. Let's discuss at the developer forums.

Let's hope they fixed the camera white balance issue. Yes, the camera does have a problem with while watt.

Will gamecenter allow cloud game saves? I have not been able to find this out, but it is the biggest feature I want. I would love to play games on iPad/iPhone and use one save and also be able to restore a device and just hook in to gamecenter to retrieve my saves.

Anyone know?

I also really hope this iphone software update actually fixes the lag time for the 3G. The only reason I didn't buy a new iphone is because of the antenna problem. I'm guessing the 'white' iphone will amazingly have no issues whatsoever.

Looking forward to updating my old 3G to 4.1 to see if this helps, not that I use it anymore.

Yeah well I still do. Contract is up in December, but will probably wait for the successor to the 4g, because you can bet it won't have antenna issues..... So needless to say I hope this actually makes the unit as usable as it used to be!
