Apple released their latest version of the iPhone OS, iOS4 for iPhone & iPod Touch in the UK at 7pm last night!

Those who have experienced the iOS4 OS first hand have said that it is the most significant update for the iPhone so far, (more so than version 3.0).

To get iOS4 all you have to do is make sure you have iTunes 9.2 running, plug in your iPhone or iPod Touch and then press ‘Check for Update’ button in the iPhone tab of iTunes.
