Apple Debuts New Safari Interface in iPhone OS 2.2 (screenshot)
While details regarding the newly released (for registered developers only) iPhone OS 2.2 are still trickling in, sources report that the MobileSafari interface has been tweaked. The new iteration of MobileSafari eschews the magnifying glass and refresh buttons at the top of the screen, instead displaying the URL bar and search fields side-by-side, much like the desktop version of Safari. Page refreshes are now accomplished via a tiny icon located inside the URL bar. See the screenshot below:

I’m glad to see this. Looks much more intuitive.

yawn… apple needs to move into the 21st century and offer full-screen browsing on the iphone, otherwise, mozilla’s mobile browser is going to blow safari away (once it’s finally released).

Um. Maybe I am wrong but I swear I have already seen Safari on iPhone look like that. Not always, just sometimes.
Anyone noticed that Safari in 2.1 has stopped jumping all over the place when trying to fill in some forms, it was so bad before that some sites were unusable. It though, has replaced that with simply crashing to home screen.

Problem is, Mozilla won’t be usable on the iPhone. Apple will not allow another browser, unless of course you jailbreak the phone, and Apple doesn’t worry about supporting those users anyway. I don’t see Mozilla having any impact on the iPhone until other manufacturers come up with a phone that matches the iPhone. And that isn’t happening anytime soon, even with the Android release.

Mr. Kendrick -
agreed on every point. still, i was rather impressed by the features revealed in the mobile mozilla demo, and would be rather disappointed if another mobile device was able to claim a better browsing experience. but yes, you’re 100% correct. i still wouldn’t give up my iphone which has proven to be a near full-functional linux platform on-the-go.

Now APPLE just has to offer a mobile version of ITS OWN WEBSITE and we’ll be set.
Any century now…

LOL - except, what would you need to view their website for, since I’d expect that you’d have everything that’s on Apple’s website esp. coz you have the iPhone =D

Is the NDA so strong that no real information is being leaked about the features in 2.2? I’ve heard nothing but guesses about copy and paste and nothing about the notification server logic that was in and removed from 2.1.

There is no need for cluttering up the interface with additional input box in this tight screen estate. If this “improvement” gets implemented it can be only due to dollars from Google for using their search. Mozilla Foundation lives on same Google support, but they need it. Does Apple need it? I do hope the fantastic iPhone UI won’t get polluted with this.

I’m wondering if in the new Os version we will have the check spelling on the e-mail, maybe the option to forward an sms and also the possibility to write in landscape e-mail and sms without the use of an external software like: easywriter, firemail and etc.
