Google has just updated their iOS app to version 3.1.0 with a few nice enhancements. According to the upgrade screen there are three new features.
1 -- Native support for iPhone4 and Retina display:Google Earth is now incredibly sharp and detailed on the iPhone 4.2 -- Underwater bathymetry and ocean surface:Similar to the recent update on Android, you can now explore under the ocean floor from your iPhone!
3 -- Ocean content layer: Also similar to Android, you can now view a layer with various stories from the sea.
With this update in place, the iPhone and Android versions of Google Earth are virtually identical. The latest Android update gave it a few features that it was lacking (like the two-finger "look around" mode), and now this update gets iPhone caught back up with the ocean features.
There are still quite a few features missing from both versions (tracks, elevation profiles, native KML support, 3D buildings, etc), but I'm sure we'll slowly see those included in the future as phones continue to become more powerful.
