iPhone 1.1.3 Firmware: New Google Maps Options

UPDATE: In case you thought this was fake, Steve Jobs just confirmed that our 1.1.3 coverage is real in his MacWorld 2008 keynote.

Looks like the soon-to-be-released firmware 1.1.3 has quite a few surprises. We were able to get a look at it, and here is what we found:

  • The ability to send an SMS message to multiple people is now there
  • Google Maps application can now pinpoint your location using cell tower triangulation
  • Google Maps can now display the Hybrid map view
  • You can now drag and drop application icons on your home screen
  • The home screen supports pagination
  • You can now add web bookmarks to your home screen

That is all we have found for now. We also know that is you used AnySIM to unlock your phone, you can expect the 1.1.3 update to brick it. Good times. Take a look at our iPhone Firmware 1.1.3 Gallery for a photo tour of the new stuff. By the way, if you are looking for an excellent program to create custom ringtones for your iPhone, check out iPhone RingToneMaker.

EDIT: We are answering your questions! Check out our first batch of iPhone 1.1.3 answers here.

    Did you find in the update that the triangulation feature means that one could get directions to/from their estimated position to another location?

    You guys did not mention the iphone update contains a new “chapter guide” when watching movies.

    Well there seem to be some bugs. The chapter text in the chapter guide works fine.  Each corresponding picture displayed next to the text is not always in sequence and therefore displays the wrong chapter pic. What is up?

    I guess Jobs stinks at photoshop. All these eagle-eyes spotted his fake update from a mile away.
