When Will Verizon iPhone Customers Get iOS 4.3?
March 23, 2011
An iOS 4.3.1 update is expected in a few weeks, which will offer users a few bug fixes, but nothing more. Plus, we still don't know if Verizon iPhone customers will be able to download this update when it is released. This news comes from BGR, which recently had a chance to play with the latest iOS.
According to BGR, the iOS update seems to improve the iPhone 4’s battery performance, although that is nothing more than a feeling and isn’t based on a scientific analysis.
In addition, there is no word on whether Verizon iPhone customers will be allowed to download this update when it is released. You may recall that the Verizon iPhone is not compatible with iOS 4.3, and hence its users cannot take advantage of its features. These include AirPlay enhancements, improved mobile Safari performance, and iTunes Home Sharing, among other features.
The iOS 4.3.1 update includes:
- Baseband updates for the 3GS and iPad (original)
- Fixed memory hangs that results in memory corruption when reading large files from USIM file system
- Fixed problem with NTLM authentication in apps and on websites
- Fixed issue with the Springboard and 3rd party apps not recognizing the gyroscope on the iPad 2
- Fixed iPad 2 jailbreak vulnerability
