ios4Along with the newest addition to the Apple family, the iPhone 4, Apple also released the latest version of iPhone's operating system, the iOS 4.0. Before going into detail how your iPhone 3G or 3GS can be upgraded to iOS 4.0, let me give you a brief background about the features of iOS 4.0


iPhone iOS 4.0 major features are: multitasking, can create folders and face time. Multitasking means you can open other apps while your previous app still open. Also, to organize you apps, you can create folders in which you can group your apps into one or several folders. Another new feature is FaceTime. This feature allows you to see vividly and in real time your family and friends while you are having a conversation with them. But unfortunately this Facetime is only applicable for iPhone 4.

With the above-mentioned features, now is the time to update your iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.0 for free. Below are the steps:

Connect your iPhone 3G or 3GS to a computer (MAC or Windows). Run the iTunes application. When the iTunes is launched, select device and select your iPhone. Check the iPhone summary window; there you will see the button "Check for update". Click that button. A pop-up window will show allowing you to download and install the update. Just follow the instructions given to successfully update your iPhone to iOS 4. Please be aware that you are not allowed to disconnect your iPhone while it is updating.
