New Flashlight Mode In iPhone OS 4?
June 1, 2010
Using your cellphone as a flashlight comes in very handy and there have been tons of apps since the first jailbreak to let you do just that with your iPhone.
Now, it seems Apple is looking at integrating this feature as part of the iPhone OS. As a matter of fact, a Mactories reader just spotted it in iPhone OS 4.0 Beta 4. Apparently, quickly clicking the power button three times activates a flashlight mode for a couple of seconds. The person who discovered this seems to think it is a bug of sorts, but that would be quite surprising. Hopefully this will make it into the final release as it would be a very useful feature.

Neat, right?
