Apple learning from Sony – iPhone 1.1.3

jobswithiphone092107.jpg Looks like Steve Jobs is taking lessons from Sony when it comes to thwarting hackers. The 1.1.3 firmware has now been confirmed to be right around the corner and Unlockers and 3rd party Apps peeps aren’t going to be too happy since both of these will be broken once again as they did with 1.1.2.

On a good note, rumour has it that we will be seeing a few new tweaks that might make life a lot easier:

- The ability to send SMS messages to multiple people

- Google maps can now triangulate your position using cell towers

- Drag and drop App icons

- Pagination on the home screen

There are a few screen shots of the new Firmware upgrade over at GearLive
