Mobile Safari Interface Tweaked in iPhone 2.2

Thursday September 25, 2008 10:39 am PDT by Arnold Kim

The release of the beta of the iPhone 2.2 brought few obvious changes to the iPhone's firmware. One tweak that was noted was that Mobile Safari got a bit of a refresh, moving the Google search bar into the title bar.

In the current version of the iPhone, the Google search only appears when you tap on the address bar.

I think I prefer it the way it currently is. The new version looks crammed and either way the user still has to click in the top bar to access it.

Is that the only tweak, or is there other Safari enhancements in this beta build?

The current implementation is definitely better.

I like the current one, but the new one may grow on me, although it does look slightly crammed; I'd like the option to choose between them both.

I'm hoping 2.2 brings more stability to Safari. Right now Safari crashes on certain web sites within minutes, making my iPhone essentially useless for accessing these web sites.

I don't like it. They should just make it all in one bar like Google Chrome.
