The major OS upgrade includes several new features such as third-party multi-tasking support and Bluetooth keyboard support. iOS 4 also includes features such as the ability to group apps in folders, Home screen wallpapers, a unified in box in Mobile Mail, and more. More iOS 4 feature highlights are available at TMO, too. For tips on preparing for the upgrade, check out TMO’s iOS 4 Upgrade Guide, and our Quick Tip on checking to see when the upgrade is available. Installing the OS upgrade requires an Internet connection and iTunes 9.2, and isn’t compatible with the original iPhone. The upgrade is available as a free download.

Hopefully, they’re more powerful than AT&Ts;! (hint, maybe the NC data center is ready for business?) OccasionalVisitor said on June 21st, 2010 at 2:57 PM: Looks like Apple has gone way too smart and only letting few iTunes client connections see the upgrade as being available. I have been trying to check from 10am PDT this morning and i still am not prompted for an upgrade. iPhone 3G Substance said on June 21st, 2010 at 6:29 PM: Had no trouble at 5pm CDT. furbies said on June 21st, 2010 at 7:45 PM (Edited: 11/09/2010 5:45 AM): Downloaded @ 3am EST here in Australia (10am PST (?)) Tiger said on June 21st, 2010 at 10:19 PM: Update completing now on a 3G. At 2 hours, 8 minutes, I’m praying this works! Tiger said on June 21st, 2010 at 10:26 PM: My next comment is “Apple, remind me again why you ditched FireWire for USB?” This is mind-numbing!!!!!! furbies said on June 21st, 2010 at 10:36 PM (Edited: 11/09/2010 5:45 AM): At 2 hours, 8 minutes You’re not downloading via ADSL (or similar) ? The actual download took me about 50 minutes, don’t remember the actual install time, but it wasn’t that long… Just remember to re-sync after the iOS 4 installs. Tiger said on June 22nd, 2010 at 7:18 AM: No, I have cable internet. The download wasn’t the slow part. The install was. 4 gigs of songs and photos took a while on a 3G. Total time took 2 hours 41 minutes! furbies said on June 22nd, 2010 at 7:42 AM (Edited: 11/09/2010 5:45 AM): Total time took 2 hours 41 minutes! Can I ask why you needed to reload the 3G ? I didn’t need to reload my iPod touch 3gen Post A Comment or Log-in. Need an account?
