How to Update Software on the iPhone


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

You won’t believe me, especially if you’ve tried to do this on any other device. You won’t believe how easy it is to update the software on your iPhone. I already have over 70 apps installed on my iPhone, and the App Store has only been open for a week. When you have new messages for any app, a little number will show up in the upper right-hand corner. The App Store is where you go on your iPhone to browse and buy new applications. When you are at the App Store… there is a tab for updates.

The App Store will remember what apps you already have installed, and will tell you which ones have new updates. You simply enter your iTunes password, tap a button, and the app is updated. That really is all you have to do. When the phone is sync’d with my desktop, it will download the latest version from the web. Then, I’ll always have the latest app on my iPhone.

This is why I believe that software on the iPhone is convenient, user-friendly, and a game changer. Apple has raised the bar so high over the competition in this area… there is no word to describe it properly.

You have to let me know what your favorite iPhone Apps are. What is the most fun, and the most functional? What has made your life easier… and what one has made you spend wayyyyy too much time playing with your phone?

I’d definitely say the “Remote” application is one of my favorites hands down.

Although I have became a bit more lazy…it’s definitely worth it…not to mention, IT’S FREE!!!

The one iPhone app that impressed me the most so far is BeatMaker, it is a very powerful music app.
I also like Twitterific a lot. I’m writing this from it right now.

Chris,

This is the kind of simplicity we’ve come to expect from Apple. Short of the apps just updating themselves without you ever knowing it, you’re right, it does not get any simpler.

My favorite iPhone apps are Phonesaber and Shazam. This are mission critical. :) Seriously though, Pandora is great.

my current favorite apps are BeatMaker and the game Chopper. Those 2 applications seem to be getting the most use from me out of all the stuff I have already installed.
