Facebook’s next big update for the iPhone looks to be just that–a massive UI overhaul that appears to make viewing and managing your account a much simpler and user-friendly task.  Facebook has officially announced the following 15 new features in 3.0:

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

According to Facebook, the new app is about “98% done.”  They also noted that push notifications will be included in future version 3.1 which will come out this summer to the App Store.
