Rumor: iPhone 3.0 Might Let Apps Run in the Background for Real Multitasking

Something significant has obviously delayed the original September launch of push notifications, Apple's solution to not allowing apps to run in the background. MacRumors hears that Apple is considering allowing real background processes instead.

Android and especially the Pre have made background apps and the true multitasking they allow look a lot sexier, and the iPhone's one-app-at-a-time paradigm more restrictive, even with the innovative compromise of push notifications.

FINALLY! THANK YOU! If this is true I will be so happy. Non iPhone users have NO idea how annoying this is to not have the apps run in the background

Is this a software update? meaning it will work on current iphones?

If it is...then Great news!

what they are talking about is firmware update 3.o. That would mean it would work with current iPhones.

"MacRumors says that if what they're hearing is true, and Apple allows apps to run in the background, it would happen with the iPhone 3.0 software. On the current iPhones, it would likely be restricted to one or two processes at a time, but with the beefier hardware of the next-gen iPhone, it'd be less restricted."

That's pretty sad that iPhone users biggest complaints are always the simplest features that every other smartphone allows. Multitasking isn't new to the Pre or Android. Every other smartphone on the planet has been doing it since the dawn of time.

As someone who has been gaming nearly as long as gaming has been around (since the early 70's), you'd think I'd be against this. Having grown up with all the major platforms and the whole notion of physical ownership... but I'm not. i embrace this as it is a revolutionary convenience. And one i know for a fact many (especially here) have not even given the fair chance to use. I get it... i was there too. But now i have a new outlook on it. It really is a hell of an option if you just want to play with no commitments. By no means am i saying this should replace traditional gaming, its an option. And one that people should look at optimistically as a way to compliment traditional gaming. There is room for both to thrive.

I tend to use streaming on new games in GamePass. To see if I like the game. If I do, I'll download it for a better experience. It's so convenient & useful.
