Now pointlessly enhanced with AI
Apple has released iOS 4.3 two days ahead of its scheduled release date.
iOS 4.3 build 8F190 is available for:
iOS 4.3 build 8F191m is available for
iOS 4.3 for Apple TV is also known as Apple TV Software 4.2.
Reports abuzz that iOS 4.3 was to be released on Wednesday March 9th, 2011. Boy Genius Report hastily reported that iOS 4.3 would see the release today (Tuesday March 8th, 2011); they totally missed the mark.
Why would Apple would release iOS 4.3 earlier than the promised date which is March 11th, 2011.
Apple can avoid server slowdown by releasing iOS 4.3 days before the iPad 2 goes on sale.
Personally I don’t think Apple would release iOS 4.3 on Wednesday.
iPad 2, iOs 4.3, Steve Jobs and then some.
Apple unveils iPad 2 and set March 11, 2011 as the release date. 1GHz Dual Core A5 Processor, front and rear camera, 1080p HDMI support, comes in black and white. Yes white model, unlike the ever-promised white iPhone 4.
iOS 4.3 will see the light of day presumably when iPad 2 ships. Developers should be getting the GM build pretty soon.
This is a short post. Will be back for the link for the Video from the event.
Apple has made it official, iPad Event on March 2nd, 2011. Our source mentioned a week ago the “around March 1st” date for such event/announcement.
Our source originally mentioned that iOS 4.3 might be released as early as late February or early March. The GM build of iOS 4.3 might be seeded to developers shortly after the event. Previously, the same mentioned that iOS 4.3 could be in developers hands as early as February 22nd.
An Apple executive is scheduled to leave for China this weekend to oversee productions of iOS device, namely the next generation iPad. Our sorce vaguely mentioned late March/early April for product actual release date, we think it might be the day the next generation iPad in the stores.
Some (Apple) news site are reporting the same thing:
The Wi-Fi hotspot feature is reported to be available on iPhone 4, not on iPhone 3GS. Current iOS 4.3 beta 3 supports up to 3 devices according to a source who insisted on anonymity.

UPDATE:
The source clarifies:

So when will the new MacBook and MacBook Pro be released?
Sooner than you’d expect.
