Today Apple released an update to the iPhone and the iPod touch software. This brings the versioning number to 1.1.2. So far, the TIFF exploit that allowed the iPod touch to be hacked has been patched. Add event to the Calendar of the iPod touch has been added. Battery status for the iPhone is shown on iTunes. This goes without saying but if you have hacked your iPhone or iPod touch don’t attempt this upgrade until we post further details about its hack-ability. iTunes is going to ask you but don’t worry about it. So again, don’t update if you have a hacked iPhone and if you like your touch the way it is then wait.

UPDATE : TUAW’s in-house hacker — Erica Sadun — is reporting that v1.1.2 is already hacked on the iPod touch. That bodes well for opening up your new UK and German iPhone, a screenshot up there — proof of the deed since that functionality is only available from your friendly third party development community. A full guided document should be uploaded soon.

The Hard Drive Update 1.0 [1.4MB] includes bug fixes and important updates for iMac Core 2 Duo systems running Mac OS X 10.4.7 or later, and Mac Pro workstations running Mac OS X 10.4.7 or later.

To complete the firmware update process, Apple instructs users to follow the instructions in the updater application. The updater will launch automatically when the Installer closes.

Pocket-lint.co.uk received confirmation from Apple that the 1.1.2 firmware update would become available to all iPhone owners this Friday, November 9th.

Although the time could not be confirmed, iPhone owners who sync their device with iTunes tomorrow in the States will be presented with the option to upgrade to the new firmware.

The new firmware incorporates more international language support, and there have been rumors that it will again break many of the 3rd party hacks for the iPhone.
