A first glimpse of the new features in iPhone OS4

Published by on Apr 14th, 2010, No Comments

iPhoneAccording to a review posted on Cult of Mac last week, the new iPhone OS4 beta preview user interface is still fairly buggy, with unexpected behaviour and crashes resulting from certain operations. Hopefully these bugs will be ironed out before the new operating system is released to consumers later this year.

Here are some of the new features of iPhone OS4 that were highlighted by the Cult of Mac reviewer:

  • Auto-focus, auto white balance and auto exposure now work for video
  • Messages can be set to show a character limit to the right of the text input box (but you won’t see it until you’ve typed at least 44 characters)
  • Email gives you the option of sending a smaller version of an image to reduce message size
  • A directional arrow appears in the notification bar to let you know when your location is being used by an app
  • The Home and Lock screens can be customised just like on the iPad
  • Similar to the Playstation network, Apple’s social gaming system, Apple Live, will allow you to log in using your Apple ID and find other gamers to play against

Check out some screenshots of iPhone OS4.
