Other mobile platforms-notably Google’s Android OS-feature multitasking, so its absence from iOS-powered devices has stood out. Apple revisited the OS updateĭuring Steve Jobs’s keynote at the Worldwide Developers Conference earlier this month it was there that the company revealed the name change to iOS along with a few more features, most of which are coupled with the upcoming iPhone 4 release.īy far the most eagerly anticipated change in the new OS is the newly added support for multitasking.
That event first outlined the major changes to the mobile OS, including multitasking, folders, and updates to Mail, among other changes. Apple is obviously looking to repeat that relatively smooth launch in 2010, by rolling out iOS 4 two days before the latest iPhone arrives.Īpple first took the wraps off the operating system update-then called iPhone OS 4.0-at anĪpril press briefing.
Released the iPhone 3.0 update a few days before the iPhone 3GS’s release, eliminating many of the delays from the year before. In 2008,Īpple released the iPhone 2 update and iPhone 3G on the same day the crush of customers simultaneously downloading the new OS and trying to activate phones led to delays and frustration. Past major mobile OS releases have had their own share of difficulties. While reporting that it had takenĦ00,000 orders for the iPhone 4, Apple also acknowledged that many customers were turned away or “abandoned the process in frustration ” the company has apologized to users affected by the problems.
Last Tuesday, a flood of customers placing orders for the new iPhone causedĪT&T’s online preorder system to collapse. The upgrade process seemed to be going smoothly Monday morning, but iPhone users will be watching closely to see if that continues throughout the day, with last week’s iPhone 4 pre-order problems fresh on their minds.
