Recent rumors about the next firmware update for the iPhone (1.1.3) appear more and more legitimate as we move into the new year. Among other nice features, iPhone users should be able to create bookmarks on the home screen (also called the springboard).

This means that ForeFlight iPhone Edition users will finally be able to create a button on the home screen to bring up ForeFlight!

We’ll keep you posted as we learn more – hopefully this 1.1.3 firmware will meet/exceed the rumors and be released soon!
