An interface tweak to a future version of Safari for iPhone
Apparently, iPhone Firmware 2.2 beta 1 is more than just bug fixes, as originally reported. So far, not much more, but we’ll take every little bit we can get.
According to iPhoneAtlas, in the latest iPhone firmware for registered developers, Safari has experienced a few interface tweaks. As you can see at right, the address bar has been changed to more closely resemble the desktop version of Safari.
Gone are the refresh and search buttons. Take out your iPhone and have a look. There used to be a magnifying glass for searching to the left of the address bar, and there used to be a refresh button to the right.
The new mobile Safari has two input fields. The standard address bar now holds a refresh icon to the right, and a search box off to the right side.
Technically, this adds no new features, but does help to unify the desktop and mobile experience. You also may be more prone to searching, since that box is just sitting there, looking so lonely without your search criteria.
You can look for this change in iPhone Firmware 2.2, to be released at an unknown time.
