This article promises the next update (“soon”) will include data capture.

With the update which is expected to appear soon, a new tool will appear and your iPhone becomes a GPS data collection instrument. You’ll be able to enter waypoints and export those to GIS maps. Potential uses include being able to plot perimeters of wildfires, tracking hiking trails, and so on. And, of course, being able to upload that data and share that information with others. If used to its full potential in public safety, the app can save lives and property in incidents of everyday emergencies and large scale, less frequent disasters.

I have not found any information on this on the Esri site, but I’ll be honest, it’s hard to know where to look. Product page? Blog? Forum? Esri folks can you confirm?
