Hidden images in iPhone software hint at future Widgets, Spotlight feature additions

Wednesday, August 08, 2007 - 11:51 PM EST

"Browsing around my iPhone using the great iFuntastic v2.5, I came across a couple of very interesting images," Tyler Faux reports for iPhoneology.

Tyler found a widget icon that's exactly the same as the image used to illustrate of Apple's "For Developers" how to create your own widgets link on Appl.com's Dashboard web page here. It's also reminiscent of Apple's Mac OS X Dashboard's "Widgets Widget" icon which is used to manage Dashboard Widget's on Macs.

Tyler also found two images named "spotlight-full" and "spotlight-keyboard" which leads him to "believe system-wide search is on the way [to the iPhone] in the very near future."

Where's my iPhone!!!

Spotlight should help, yea?

You can enable these features on your iPhone. I did it by SSHing into the iPhone with a "Ethernet over Bluetooth" connection, and then from the Terminal, issuing this command:

% defaults write com.apple.springboard widgets-enabled -boolean YES

Then the icon appears on the iPhone and you can add and manage widgets.

The password for iPhone root is “alpine”
The “mobile” user accounts password is “dottie”

Now you know, go for it.

Silly Apple, using dictionary passwords.

i think the spotlight that he found is actually the overlay that darkens the background when you get a message or an alert on the phone while you are doing something.

its an actual spotlight, not the utility spotlight

Or possibly, the spotlight keyboard refers to how the iPhone CAPS arrow highlights while in use.

It would be interesting to find out if the IPhone is unlocked, so I can drop in my SIM card from my t-mobile phone. Anyone know?

"Silly Apple, using dictionary passwords."

Or extremely smart, meaning that Apple wanted people to find these passwords and easily remember them.

@ Spaz

There isn't really a lot you can do with those passwords. Apple didn't hide them because they don't do you any good.
