Apple will unveil updates to the software underlying its iPhone and iPad devices at a press event Thursday, the company said.
In an e-mail sent to reporters Monday, the company indicated that it would be showing off the fourth version of the iPhone operating system. The message included a large graphic with the shadow of a numeral four.
"Get a sneak peak into the future of iPhone OS," it said.
Apple has yet to disclose what will be in the next version of the iPhone operating system. But last month, CEO Steve Jobs indicated that an upcoming feature in the software would be a universal e-mail inbox, where users could see all the messages from all their accounts in one place.
The new software will also reportedly include the ability to run more than one application at a time. That's something many iPhone users have been clamoring for, but that, with a few exceptions, iPhone OS-based devices can't currently do.
This will mark the third major update to the iPhone software. The company has unveiled the two previous ones in March the past two years.
With iPhone 2.0, Apple allowed users to install applications from third-party software developers and created an App Store to showcase them. With iPhone 3.0, the company added turn-by-turn navigation capabilities and the ability for applications to send notifications to users even when the programs weren't running
