Here's a Valentine's Day gift I wasn't expecting: according to a "reliable source," iOS 4.3 should be available to download starting February 14, at 10AM PST.
The news comes from MacStories, who originally noted that iOS 4.3 would be available last December.
This time around, the website claims that iOS 4.3 will be available to download from February 14. This fits in with our estimation of the software update's release.
A few days ago, News Corp. released The Daily: a new digital publication, which premiered exclusively on Apple's iPad. This application is the first to utilize Apple's "in-app subscription" service, which will launch with iOS 4.3, and must be offered by all App Store periodicals by March 31. However, the application is initially free to try for two weeks.
For this reason alone, Apple must release iOS 4.3 before The Daily's two week trial period expires, in order for users to subscribe to the publication via Apple's in-app service.
When do you expect to see iOS 4.3? Let us know in the comments.
