Why You Should get the iOS 4 Software Update

If you have an Apple iPhone, you probably think you’ve got it as good as it gets. Even though the software on your iPhone is already good—great even—Apple is constantly developing ways to make it better. Most recently, they’ve made the iOS 4 software update available for users to download for free. This update entails over 100 new features for your iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, or iPhone 3G. Some of the most sought after features include multitasking, folders, and a better mail set up. Multitasking allows you to run multiple apps at once and switch between them easily without draining the battery or slowing performance. The Folders option allows you to organize your apps into categorized folders for easy access and improved organization by simply dragging and dropping. The new and improved mail set up allows you to see messages from multiple accounts in one place as well as organize your messages by threads and open attachments in third-party apps.

Additional features of the iOS4 update include an iBooks app that allows you to browse and shop for books, then read them from your iPhone like an eBook, the ability to create custom playlists directly from your phone, a 5x digital zoom for your camera, and a tap to focus option for video shooting. For better organization, the update also comes with a tool called Faces and Places that allows you to sort your photos based on who’s in them and where they were taken. You can also change the background wallpaper of your home screen, send apps as gifts to your friends, spell check your emails and texts, and use a wireless keyboard via Bluetooth.
