iPhone OS 3.1 beta: Safari Scores 100 in Acid3 Test, Somewhat.

iPhone OS 3.0 Safari scored 97 out of 100 in Acid3 Test. The newly seeded iPhone OS 3.1 beta (build 7c97d) includes a tweaked version of Safari that scores 100 out of 100 in Acid3 Test. Even though Safari scored 100, it still did not render the page identically to the reference page. Note the white X in the pink box on the top right corner of the test box.

WebKit Aims to Pass Acid3 Test

Flurry of “nightly builds” of WebKit were released today, and it appears that the WebKit team is aiming for a perfect score on Acid3 test. I downloaded at least five different WebKit builds today, and the latest one (build 31334) scores 99/100 on Acid3 test (QuickTime Movie 376KB). Can they make the perfect grade? I’m sure they will soon. Apparently an internal build of Opera has passed Acid3 Test.
