iPhone 2.0 firmware secret release date
Since its announcement, we’ve all been speculating about the iPhone 2.0 firmware release date, but Apple has been keeping the date secret all along.
“iPhone 2.0 software will be available on July 11 as a free software update via iTunes® 7.7 or later for all iPhone customers,” Apple notes in the original iPhone 3G press release (8th paragraph).
Many seem to think that this date most is likely a stall date (latest possible ship date for the release). However as the iPhone 2.0 firmware has already gone gold master (received shipping status), we might not see the new firmware until the iPhone 3G is released on July 11th.
