Apple Releases First Beta of iOS 4.1 and iPhone SDK 4.1


Apple today released the first beta version of iOS 4.1 and the associated software development kit (SDK) to developers. There is no word yet on changes included in the updates.

Many users have been waiting for a promised iOS software update to address signal strength display issues on the iPhone 4, but it is likely that Apple is planning to push out a smaller update specifically addressing issue rather than waiting for iOS 4.1 and all of the associated developer testing before releasing it.

I sure hope they release iOS 4.0.1 soon, although I'm looking forward to this iOS 4.1 as well. How long after betas are released until the actual thing, usually?

I hope they put the user editable dictionary back in or the ability to play a video in a web page without being taken out of the page.

It's very interesting that the update is 4.1 and not 4.0.1.

What API? I thought Apple was just going to replace the signal meter with a static image?

I think I'm going to sit this one out. My iPhone 4 has enough issues. Adding beta software to it probably isn't a wise move.
