Engadget say they have analyzed the leaked iPhone 2.0 firmware, and report 3G and GPS will be present. The HSDPA will be tri-band, meaning it will work pretty much anywhere. They also say components will include Sony antennas, 3G processors, transceivers and amplifiers, Arm 11 CPU and an UMTS on/off switch for power saving. Seems like there's less and less to doubt about iPhone 2.0. [Engadget]

The iPhone 1.1.2 firmware update was previously available via manual download, but it is now available to all US customers through iTunes. The update includes a TIFF Exploit patch (meaning jailbroken iPhones will not work), foreign language support, and a custom ringtone section. As always, there are a few things you should know before you upgrade so make sure to educate yourself. This goes for the iPod Touch firmware as well, which was also released today. [MacRumors]

iPhone Firmware Drops Tomorrow, Apple Confirms

Charlie White — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 07:50:47 EST

If you've been scampering about with all kinds of jailbroken applications on your iPhone, the party will be over tomorrow when Apple releases its 1.1.2 iPhone firmware update. At first we heard it was going to be included on the new European iPhone, but now word has it that Apple has confirmed that the 1.1.2 firmware will be released internationally via iTunes tomorrow (November 9th).

Although Apple wasn't confirming that compatibility with unauthorized applications and unlocked iPhones will be broken, it looks like the situation will be similar to what happened last time the company released a firmware update with version 1.1.1. This new update won't bring much new stuff, except support for more languages and access to The Cloud Wi-Fi hotspots for UK users. And so another round of hacking on the iPhone begins, all on the sly until the eagerly awaited SDK hits in February. [Pocket Lint]
