Apple Releases Official iPhone 2.0 (5A347) Firmware [Update]

The official iPhone 2.0 Firmware is now available through iTunes 7.7. The new upgrade file carries the same build number (5A347) as yesterday's early leak:

iPhone1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw

The "1,1" designation is different, however. The significance of this difference is not entirely clear. Despite the same build numbers. the file sizes of the two builds are different. For those who are concerned, you will likely be able to crossgrade to the official release using the same technique as yesterday. We'll post details of this after some testing. The iPhone 2.0 Firmware provides a number of new features and also provides support for the App Store.

Update: Readers should NOT upgrade to the 2.0 Firmware until Apple resolves their server activation issues. If you do upgrade and are unable to connect to the iTunes servers, your iPhone will be left in an unusable state.

Not showing up yet for me :(

Will just keep clicking the Check for Update button, I guess....

EDIT: Ok, it took 4 minutes more, but now it's downloading! Hooray!

EDIT 2: Yesterday I downloaded the 2.0 IPSW from the found link (though ended up not installing), which was 225.0 MB. The version downloading now is supposedly 218.2 MB. Different build, perhaps?

Really? I didn't know they were making new firmware for the iPhone?:cool: How come they didn't announce this before? Why wasn't there any media coverage of such an event?

is it snappier than the old one?

Please do keep us posted on that build number. And/or what process us over-eager beavers should go through to get the correct 2.0 on our iPhone Classics -- in the event that iTunes doesn't deem us in need of the newer firmware. Thanks... :)

possible news on the leaked version. when i click restore, it says the requested resource cannot be found. i would guess this means its different from the leaked version.
