Apple seeding iOS 4.1 GM to developers

General

If you are anxious to get iOS 4.1 onto your device, and are enrolled in Apple’s developer program, you’re in luck. Apple has just updated developer.apple.com with the new iOS 4.1 Gold Master bits; the update weighs in at a hefty 590 MB. If you find anything new and interesting — that wasn’t mentioned in today’s keynote — be sure to drop a note about it in the comments.

Thanks, CDeeRon!

    DROID OS 1.5 owns iOS 4.1. It has opensource and widgets. Seriously. Just die off Apple.

    • Steve

      Great, ok so you can geek off and show off your Droid to other geeks at sci fi conventions and do all the Star Trek communicator sounds you want. I’m using my phone to talk with my hot girlfriend that love the bling of her iPhone and we have great sex. How’s that right hand arm strength?

  • Mark Thomas

    Downloading. Wonder if I can upgrade using Windows or still Mac only… hmmm

    • Mark Thomas

      Yup, you can – upgrading now. Broke my JB of course but give it time.

      • Dion

        I can’t upgrade my iPhone4. It says “software isn’t compatible”. My device is registered and certified. Do I have to have the new SDK installed too?

      • bonesb

        Yes. I’d recommend a restart too. Apple’s got a few things going on today, their activation server’s likely a bit overloaded right now, try back a bit later – I’d recommend checking the Provisioning Portal to make sure your device(s) still show up.

    Tip: If you’re planning on downloading the developer build onto your iPhone, be sure to turn on Wi-Fi and use extra Duct Tape.

    • vinny

      lol i thought that was funny!! and im an iphone 4 owner

    • Glenn Beck

      Kill yourself

    • Ernie

      Papi you’re really dumb. It’s sad. No human being should be this stupid. I feel like God has a vendetta against your mom and dad.

    the server must be hammered im getting a really slow download

    • PAPINYC

      Server’s fine; AT&T is the problem.

      • MikeLang

        you don’t download these updates over the air… lol

      • PAPINYC

        Righto’, it’s done via Wi-Fi……

      • Mark Thomas

        What? 590mb worth? You on fukcing drugs?

    “If you find anything new and interesting — that wasn’t mentioned in today’s keynote — be sure to drop a note about it in the comments.”

    Lol, at this point, I would consider any news as more interesting than today’s keynote… I haven’t yawned that much in my life…

  • PAPINYC

    Use more Duct Tape.

    • Ernie

      I hope to god you’re not puerto rican, like I am. Because you’re the reason we get a rep as dumb asses.

    • rob

      yes, we get it, duct tape…………funny.
      please stop posting

  • Mr. Bill

    More fluff.

  • tPayne

    when was the last time an “upgrade” was less bloated than the version it replaced? Thanks, but no.

    • Mark Thomas

      Your loss.

    • noReally

      Uh, bloated as in adding HD video recording, back and front cameras, … oh wait never shit see that i was feeding one of the hundreds of trolls in this place.

      • noReally

        wrong article, still you’re a troll, but wrong article :)

  • http://theplacefordee.com D

    running 4.1 GM anyone else?

  • Matthew Saeger

    4.1 GM killed my 4, won’t even restore in DFU now…

    • http://theplacefordee.com D

      were you upgrading from 4.1 b3?

    • Scott C

      Me too! Updating from 4.0.1. Now wont restore even to 4.0.2. Any ideas? Anyone?

    • Evan

      I assume you’re stuck on recovery mode? Try using RecBoot to get out of Recovery Mode.

  • Eric

    I am downloading this now. Can anyone confirm if the Restore.ipsw will work WITHOUT a developer account/developer registered device?

    • http://www.chunkysalsa.net Jeff

      Yes Eric… It’s the GM build, does not need UDID registration. Work just fine

      • Eric

        Thanks!

      • Juan

        did it work for u @eric?

  • ackbarman

    i just download it from P##### ##Y and am going to try and see if it works without a Dev account. Ill post how it goes. BTY file was a 590mb download but the actual ipsw is 619mb

  • ackbarman

    Just update iphone 4 using itunes 9.1.2 and everything worked fine. Running iOS 4.1 just fine now I just need some game center friends, ackbarman is my name. Go ahead and update if you want to. it does update the baseband on the phone so if you rely on an unlock dont do it.

  • Scott

    How is the proximity sensor on 4.1? Any difference?

    • http://quadesl.com stokessd

      Totally fixed for me. I was cheek dialing like a fiend, and I spent about an hour on the phone without a problems last night.

      Now I just need a jailbreak for 4.1 and I’m golden…

  • Andrew

    iOS 4.1 didn’t fix my proximity sensor any one else with this problem. I’m so sick of apple. This sucks.

    • ackbarman

      I havent really been able to tell if the proximity sensor has been fixed. I have only had a few calls but so far not one has a button been pushed because the screen turned back on, we will have to see though after a little more time. @Andrew I know how you are feeling because I have been frusterated, I took my phone in the other day because at least 50% of my calls get messed up with that proximity sensor issue, the guy said if the update doesn’t fix it then they would give me a new phone, so maybe they will do the same for you. I too am sick of the iphone now and no longer enjoy it anymore (I still hate android) and want to switch to a pre or BB and just get a new touch but now I will have to wait for an unlock for the new baseband so I can sell my iPhone 4, but now I am just rambling. Ill post again with some updates on my proximity sensor issues.

      iPhone 4 running iOS 4.1 GM

    “This comment has been seriously disliked. Click here to see.”
    hmm must be an fandroid..

  • Chris

    Have 4.1 GM on my 3GS. Native camera app has zoom but no HDR

    • Chris

      I just confirmed on apple.com that HDR is only available on iPhone 4… missed that point earlier.

  • John

    Well I downloaded the iOS 4.1 GM last night. And guess what they fix the proximity sensor already. I really didn’t see any antenna being better all I see was a higher bar. Besides that everything seems to be ok. I dont know what else is experiencing thought?

  • Debbie

    > the update weighs in at a hefty 590 MB

    Wow. That IS hefty. Oh wait… that’s about the same size and the last update…. and the 1 before it… and the 1 before that… and ALL the updates.

    Does BGR actually read what they write????

    Apple OS updates *ALWAYS* just replace the full OS. They always are about 590 mb.

  • Blue1k

    The update worked great for me.
    I never had an issue with the proximity sensor so I can’t comment on any changes.
    The update to the camera is much appreciated. The white balance seems fixed when using the hdr option. The AVRCP support in bluetooth is a big deal for me. Finally can use my stereo headset at the gym with the ability to skip between songs.

  • Zach

    @Debbie Before you get mad at BGR, do some research. Only the last two updates have been 590 Mb. They used to be less than 300
