Apple releases iOS 4.3 two days earlier than officially planned

09 March, 2011
Today we were nicely surprised to see iTunes greet us with the latest iOS 4.3 software for the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 well ahead of schedule. The update brings a handful of improvements including faster web...

Update went smoothly, it's almost 700MB so can take a while.

Safari is noticeably faster.

It's good to have access to my entire iTunes library (200GB +) anywhere around my house via wifi, works smoothly.

I might get a HDMI cable adapter for the dock connector on my iPhone to see how well that works with my TV.

      Apple this better give you the damn ability to make your own text message tones because the new ones in the last update sucked and I also hate the fact that if I hear ANY of the text message tones I always think it's MY phone because I have to constantly switch between them since myself and nearly 60% of America has an iPhone-_-

Apple was first with iOS and Google copied them by making android (thus many apps are only made for iOS). Apple was first with the highest resolution screen last summer and again all companies copied.

              he meant that among all the iDevices, iPhone 4 will be the one which serves the hotspot functionality. iPhone 3G & 3Gs users will not be satisfied with this heartbreaking move.

              on the other hand, it's also a shame that apple made it so late. android (froyo+), symbian, windows mobile etc. all of them are capable of doing it long since.

                                I really don't get it. Why 3GS can't get those new message tones? It pisses me off even if they suck really bad.
                                Safari is great now, and homesharing as well.
