The newly released iPhone 3.2 SDK Beta 3 has revealed even more info on what is to come in the upcoming iPhone OS 3.2/4.0 for iPhone and iPad. In addition to supporting video conferencing through a front facing camera and external LED flash, the new firmware will also include built-in tools which will enable to do basic photo editing like crop and rotate directly on device without any third party app.
The three icon images in SDK: PLRotation_TueFeb23_200…2010.png, crop_TueFeb23_200851_2010.png and dashedPhoto_TueFeb23_20…010.png clearly indicates that the next iPhone OS will allow us to:
- Crop Image
- Rotate Image
- Select a region in image
iPhone OS 3.1.3 was released earlier this month which brought some important security and bug fixes for iPhones and iPod touches.
iPhone OS 4.0/3.2 is expected to be released in the last week of March to go concurrently with iPad which will ship in the same timeframe.
The next-gen iPhone is likely to be unveiled at this year’s WWDC conference. It is expected to feature a faster processor, a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, support for WiFi-N standard and so on.
