Over at Gearlive, Andrew has just upped Episode 195 of Bleeding Edge confirming everything that has been said about the new iPhone firmware version 1.1.3. Earlier this was all thought to be a big scam to get Gearlive a bunch of traffic, but it actually appears to be legit.
Hit the cut for what actually is included in v1.1.3, and what we can hope is fixed for the final release.
In the video we see the moving of icons, new features in Maps application including cell tower triangulation, pagination, and bookmarking of links from Safari put on the home screen. Also in the video was a crash of the plain non-hacked firmware. I sure hope Apple works that out before releasing it. No idea when this will be out, but it should be within the next month leading up to the SDK in february.

“Earlier this was all thought to be a big scam to get Gearlive a bunch of traffic”
Translation: “I was ridiculously hilariously wrong and I’m too ashamed to admit it”
Shouldn’t be ashamed, there was lots of questions?? I mean it showed the name Nate where ATT should have been because it said it also broke all hacks… As well “How did this get Out” Apple is known for never leaking “Anything” Why does 1.1.3 suddenly come out and not the others?? So i think for everyone until we saw this video was pretty much on the edge of “This is Fake”… Though in the end we will all see when Apple does Update the iPhone through iTunes, and we will see….
So when is this update going to be released? By MW or on MW?
Big deal, so you can move the icons around. What about real features that could have been added a long time ago? All I want is A2DP Bluetooth and I’ll go quietly. Wireless sync would be nice too (my Sony Ericsson did it, even with my Mac) but I can live without it because I still have to charge it by wire.
I also don’t know why it would matter if you could add bookmarks to the home screen. I either leave my favorite sites open all the time or the auto-fill works so easily that I only have to type one or two letters before it finds it.
