Got the new iPhone OS 3.0? Now what?


Well, now that you've got the iPhone 3.0 software and you've played around with the copy and paste, spotlight and the landscape keyboard, you probably wouldn't bother to search for more features. But there are a TON of them. There are about 100 hidden (or not yet sought) features that have been updated thanks to 3.0. Here are some of them:

  • You can send as many pictures as you want in Mail. usually you can only "share" 5. this still holds true but with copy and paste you can copy as many photos as you want into the mail app.
  • When logging on to a secure website the Name of the site turns green and has a lock on it. (Feel free to shop on your iPhone.)
  • You have the option to forward a contact on to someone now when you view their contact details.
  • it shows which phone (mobile, home) or location (Orlando, FL, etc) you dialed under the number or name in Recents
  • now there is a different way to force quit apps. now you have to hold the sleep/wake button until the red slider appears, then you hold down the home button to quit the app
  • you can now type all emoji icons when in landscape. previously, the landscape keyboard would cut some of the icons off.
  • you can now turn off the second SMS message alert
  • In the settings -> general -> home button you can now set the double click to the new search feature or the camera
  • you can shake to undo typing (when typing) or shake to shuffle (when playing music).

Check the full list at the MacRumors Forums.
