iPhone OS 3 (stylized as iPhone OS 3.0) is the third major release of the iOS mobile operating system developed by Apple Inc., succeeding iPhone OS 2. It was announced on March 17, 2009, and was released on June 17, 2009. It was succeeded by iOS 4 on June 21, 2010, dropping the "iPhone OS" naming convention.[1]

iPhone OS 3 added a system-wide "cut, copy, and paste" feature, allowing users to more easily move content. It also introduced Spotlight, a search indexing feature designed to help users locate specific information on their device, such as contacts, email messages or apps. The home screen was expanded to let users add up to 11 pages, showcasing a total of 180 apps. The Messages app received support for MMS, while the Camera app received support for video recording on the iPhone 3GS, and a new "Voice Memos" app let users record their voice. In-app purchase capability was added to third-party applications as well.

iPhone OS 3 is the last version of iOS that supports the first-generation iPhone and first-generation iPod Touch as its successor, iOS 4, drops support for both models.

Cut, copy, or paste

[edit]

iPhone OS 3 introduced a "cut, copy, and paste" bubble dialog when users press and hold text. The "paste" button would incorporate anything stored in the device's clipboard into the marked area.[2][3][4]

Spotlight

[edit]

Spotlight is a system-wide indexing and search feature, aiming to help users search their device for specific contacts, email messages, calendar appointments, multimedia files, apps and more. It is accessed by swiping to the right from the home screen.[5]

Home screen

[edit]

iPhone OS 3 expanded the maximum number of pages on the home screen to 11, for a total number of 180 apps.[6]

Find My iPhone

[edit]

Users with subscriptions to MobileMe were able to remotely track, lock, and erase their iPhones if lost.

App features

[edit]

Messages

[edit]

The Messages app received native support for the Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), allowing users to send and receive messages that also contain pictures, contacts, locations, voice recordings, and video messages.[7][2]

Camera and Photos

[edit]

The Camera app introduced video recording for the iPhone 3GS.[8][6]

The Photos app featured a new copy button and the ability to delete multiple photos at once.[6]

Cost

[edit]

Upgrading to iPhone OS 3 was free for iPhone. Upgrading to iPhone OS 3 originally cost iPod Touch users $9.95;[9] updating to 3.1.x from 2.x cost only $4.95.[10][11]

iPhone OS 3 was the last major version of iOS for which there was a charge for iPod Touch users to upgrade. Starting with iOS 4, iOS upgrades became free for all users, including users of the iPod Touch, as the Sarbanes–Oxley Act was revised to allow software upgrades for free with hardware that is not subscription-based.[citation needed]
