Plug your iPhone<\/strong> into iTunes<\/strong><\/a> today and you’ll be able to update your phone to iOS 4.02<\/strong>. The main purpose of the update is to fix a security flaw with PDF files<\/strong> – it had been discovered that downloading a PDF file in Safari could have allowed potentially malicious files access to your phone.<\/p>\n

The secondary purpose is to stop jailbreaking. Jailbreakme<\/strong><\/a> offered one click iPhone jailbreaking that used the PDF security flaw. So upgrading to 4.02 will kill your jailbreak, but make the phone more secure.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, the update is over 500mb<\/strong>, a lot for an supposed security fix. I wonder if there are some stability fixes in there too, as iOS4 has definitely been more buggy than 3 (at least on my 3GS).<\/p>\n
