Is FW2.0 coming this Friday 6/27?

[todesto]

For some reason, I'm having an issue with signal reception problem. Last night, my phone lost singal showing No Service sign on signal bar area for two hours and I didn't even know it. :angry:
I've been having many dropped call and call failure issue....I even got my phone replaced from Genius Bar (Thanks Apple! :wink:), talked to AT&T and got some credits from them, but still having issue. Maybe because of my jailbreak?:confused:

I don't know if FW2.0 will have better algorithym to make the phone signal and quality better or not, but I sure would like to try it. (Some said 1.1.4 had better signal)
Can't wait for it....

I think it has been said that it comes out with the iPhone 3g on 7/11.

They haven't announced specifically when the 2.0 firmware update will be available. All Apple has said is that it will be "early July."

I see that now. Maybe we'll have something to talk about this Friday.

macrumors (http://www.macrumors.com/):

Gizmodo claims (http://www.macrumors.com/c.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgizmodo.com%2F5019445%2Fiphon e-20-golden-master-could-hit-this-friday&t=1214409602) that the iPhone 2.0 Firmware could hit Golden Master this Friday. The Golden Master version is the final shipping version of a product, which means we could also see the 2.0 Firmware released as soon as this Friday. Gizmodo warns that the date is tentative, but falls in line with Apple's original plans to deliver the 2.0 Firmware by late June. At WWDC, however, Steve Jobs revised the release date to "early July".

The 2.0 Firmware will be available for free for existing iPhone owners and as a $9.99 update for iPod Touch users. The biggest new features of the 2.0 Firmware include Exchange/Enterprise support (http://www.macrumors.com/2008/03/06/iphone-enterprise-features-activesync-exchange-wpa2-push-services/) and 3rd party application support (http://www.macrumors.com/2008/03/06/apple-releases-iphone-sdk-demos-spore-instant-messaging/), but Steve Jobs also highlighted a number of additional improvements during the 2008 WWDC keynote. These include: contact search, iWork document support, Office documents (Word, Excel, and now PowerPoint) support, bulk delete & move for messages, scientific calculator, parental controls and additional language support.

Of note, even if the 2.0 Firmware is delivered early, the App Store launch may lag behind by a few weeks, as we've heard that the App Store is still undergoing active development.

Everyone and their mother claims it's friday I just hope they are right.

Everyone and their mother claims it's friday I just hope they are right.

I hope so too so the hackers will have time to jailbreak it before iDay2 so we don't have to wait weeks with our iPhone 3G locked with nothing but pay programs or free programs designed to get you to spend money.

I do hope the mothers are right but it might turn out to be an old wives tale

Did you see my post, lol? Apple stated the 11th. Apple.

[Cloverfield]

Yes, it will be out July 11th, not 2 days time...

Well, it's not exactly the last paragraph, but I guess you mean this one:

iPhone 3G will be available in the US on July 11 for a suggested retail price of $199 (US) for the 8GB model and $299 (US) for the 16GB model in both Apple and AT&T’s retail stores and requires a new two year contract with AT&T for qualifying customers. iPhone 2.0 software will be available on July 11 as a free software update via iTunes® 7.7 or later for all iPhone customers. For further information about iPhone 3G pricing and availability in the US and internationally, visit www.apple.com/iphone (http://www.apple.com/iphone).

Very sad news :(:(

[psylichon]

Reality sucks, huh. How will I enjoy my phone this weekend?

Now gizmodo has updated the article with an apology from the apple source.

Yea - I was at work. I thought it was the last paragraph. Either way, you found it. :tounge:

" Also, remember that releasing a Golden Master internally or to developers doesn't mean releasing it to the general public."

Good, now I won't have to listen to you guys talk about the wonders of 2.0 while I'm stuck waiting for iPhone 3G. (I'm not updating my current iPhone - just getting the one.)

[justahsquirrel]

The software might be GM but delivery is another issue....dont hold your breath. Dont believe the hype until you see it....

Why wouldn't you go ahead and update if the 2.0 is released before the 11th?

Because that way when I get iPhone 3G I'll get everything at once - new hardware features with the new phone, and new software features with 2.0.

Not me!! I'll be upgrading as soon as 2.0 is available. It's like Christmas morning when a new update is released.

With patience like that, you will make a great husband some day.:smile:

[Cloverfield]

Well...looks like it's not today lol

[ColsTiger]

Well...looks like it's not today lol

the firmware updates are rarely available first thing in the morning. Apple could be waiting for 6PM Eastern to commemorate the one year anniversary. I highly doubt it though.

[Cloverfield]

Oh yeah, forgot bout the time difference for a minute there. 17:45 where I am.
