Unity iPhone 1.0.2
Note: a newer version of Unity iPhone has been released. Check out the current release notes to find out what's really new.
Whether on an iPhone or an iPod Touch, you will be able to dazzle your audience with the finest content available in the App Store. 2D or 3D, touch or tilt — if you can think it, you will be able to build it.
Player Size and Speed Improvements
Texture memory, Mono runtime and uncompressed audio runtime size have been reduced by up to 50%. We also improved the optimized script call optimization. This makes your games take less memory and run faster, while still looking and playing state of the art.
Portrait and Landscape Splash Screens
New and improved splash screens that you can choose from! Five splash screens are included in every built Xcode project (3 portait, 2 landscape). Just choose the one you want to use and rename it "Default.jpg".
Warning: Installing this update will move your contents of /Users/Shared/Unity to the Trash to make way for the demo project. If you have done any work on the default project, move your project out of the Trash to avoid losing any data.

Additional Features, improvements, and changes
New Features and Improvements
- Texture memory is now freed once it has been submitted to OpenGLES on the device, reducing memory usage by 50%.

- Reduced memory footprint for uncompressed audio by 50%
- Improved iPhone script call optimization
- Removed unused parts of Mono runtime
- Reduced memory overhead while reading data from disk and slightly improved load times.
