It was back in early July when we saw reports that Facebook version 3.0 for the iPhone was “about 98% done” and now the latest is telling us that it has recently been submitted for approval into the App Store.
“Just uploaded Facebook for iPhone 3.0 to the App Store for review.
”
Now, we can all sit back wait, and count the amount of days that Apple takes to review and grant Facebook v3.0 entry into the App Store. Just to offer a recap of the features that we can expect to see in version 3, here is a list.
- 1. The “new” News Feed
- 2. Like
- 3. Events (including the ability to RSVP)
- 4. Notes
- 5. Pages
- 6. Create new photo albums
- 7. Upload photos to any album
- 8. Zoom into photos
- 9. Easier photo tagging
- 10. Profile Pictures albums
- 11. A new home screen for easy access to all your stuff, search, and notifications
- 12. Add your favorite profiles and pages to the home screen
- 13. Better Notifications (they link to the comments so you can reply)
- 14. Quickly call or text people right from the Friends page
- 15. Messages you are typing will be restored if you quit or are interrupted by a phone call
Additionally, the one item that many may have been hoping to see — Push Notifications, are not going to be included until version 3.1.

Why not include push in the 3.0?
