iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 4 arrived just a little later than expected tonight “ but it ‘s still good to see it, and nice to see that the pattern of a new beta release every two weeks is continuing.
I ‘ve only had the new beta installed for a short while, and so far have only noticed a few new things and changes. For now, I ‘m going to be optimistic and hope there is some good bug squashing under the hood of this one “ if it could stamp out the disappearing Call button and intermittent battery drain issues that would be very nice.
Here ‘s some very quick thoughts on beta 4 so far:
- I ran an update rather than restore again.
- Biggest / only big change I can see so far is that Settings > Store is no longer a blank area. It lets you view your account info “ all your address and payment details etc, and edit them. There is also a ‘Redeem ‘ button. It would be great to be able to redeem promo codes directly on the iPhone, but so far I can ‘t get this button to work for me.
- Force Quit is still missing. I ‘d really like to see this come back soon.
- Apps compatibility seems largely as it was in the last beta (very good) “ although Evernote is back to being extremely flaky / not very usable “ as it was with the first two betas.
That ‘s about all I ‘ve noticed so far. As always, would love to hear what you all are seeing with this newest beta
