Rumor: 1.1.2 firmware dropping tomorrow
Posted 8 November 2007 @ 11am in News
If you’ve eagerly been awaiting the release of the 1.1.2 firmware, it looks like it’s going to be released within the next 24 hours. Pocket-Lint.co.uk is reporting the update will show up in iTunes as early as tomorrow morning after hearing details about it from Apple’s “press team” in conjunction with the iPhone’s UK and German release for Friday.
While there’s no Adobe Flash support just yet, the update is adding a bevy of extra languages, and a fix to that pesky .TIFF exploit, which has ended up doing more good than harm for the iPhone development community. The rest of the features Pocket-Lint is reporting on have already been documented by T3 and their hands-on with the new firmware, which we wrote about last week.
Any brave souls planning to upgrade after the 1.1.1 fiasco?

from the standpoint of people who dont add 3rd party stuff, each of these does actually make the phone better, save strange errors and ringtone fascism.
i’m extremely thankful for the “reset network settings” button and after each firmware update i hope i’ll have to use that less. also hoping for volume control over every noise the thing makes.

For whom was there a 1.1.1 fiasco? Anyone who listened to Apple suffered no fiasco. Apple says to hackers, “Don’t play with fire.” So, what do some hackers do?
This isn’t to say I’m opposed to hacking, but those who do shouldn’t kvetch after having been warned.

Completed install by manually downloading the 1.1.2 zip file. By Option-clicking on the iTunes (7.5) Restore button, pointed toward the zip file on my desktop. After Choosing the zip install, iTunes completed the restore & install. While I’m not using any 3d party iPhone apps, all my prior settings etc were maintained. iPhone working well.

this is true that it does not work on Power mac. I tried it from my windows laptop and it worked fine for me too.
