iPhone Dev Program Leaks Info On Jan 27th Launch?

on 01/26/2010 19:18 PDT

Besides the Apple tablet, and AT&T possibly losing its iPhone exclusivity, could there also be an updated iPhone OS to be announced tomorrow? A mistake in the signup form for Apple’s iPhone Developer Program sure seems to indicate that something related to the iPhone will be happening tomorrow. A placeholder on the signup form (which has been confirmed) reads “Need to update this for the 27th launch”. There isn’t any mention of what will be launching, but considering earlier reports from Flurry, and some other rumors, it’s probably a smart bet to assume that it could be the iPhone 4.0 OS.

iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
