UPDATED: Could iOS 4.3 be coming in two weeks? (Feb 13?)
Could iOS 4.3 be coming in two weeks, right after the Verizon-sponsored free trial of The Daily runs out and subscriptions kick in? John Gruber of Daring Fireball thinks so.
I originally thought Apple might even announced iOS 4.3 today... until iOS 4.3 beta 3 hit yesterday. I thought they'd require it for in-app subscriptions... until The Daily was released today. Then I thought in-app subscriptions might simply be a back-end change on Apple's part, no new firmware required for devices. Gruber, however, rightly points out that The Daily isn't using in-app subscriptions just yet and won't be for another two weeks (Verizon is sponsoring it for free until then). Is that enough time for Apple to release an iOS 4.3 GM seed next week and an iOS 4.3 final release the week after?
Could be. Could still be February 10th to coincide with the Verizon iPhone launch or sometime in March/April along with iPad 2. What's your best guess?
UPDATE: Both David Pogue of The New York Times and Walt Mossberg of The Wall Street Journal seemed to hint iOS 4.3 would indeed drop the week of the 13th in their Verizon iPhone reviews as well.
UPDATE 2: Pogue has removed the date info from his review. Correcting an erroneous assumption or removing a leak? Hmmmm....

By the 13th since AT&T if offering hotspot app by then.
What's the point of not having 4.3 on the Verizon iPhone at release? If it's not so that 4.3 will be released at a later date...
I like the thought behind this. I would go with the 10th. I'm not sure how this is any help to me if there is no JB but maybe those guys will get to work on one.
Maybe they will also start charging us and pump out faster returns.
They're offering it for a HTC phone. There's nothing to confirm a Feb 13th release of 4.3. Any article saying this full of conjecture with no facts behind it.
The ATT press release gives useful detail
"The feature will first be available February 13, beginning with the in-store launch of the HTC Inspire™ 4G"
This needs to hurry and get already.. GEEZ!
This is some great news! I can't wait to find out all the details!

4.3.x will be for the iPad 2
Duh, why else would the Daily be free for a mysterious two weeks? Also, the Daily requires the subscription service in iOS 4.3, so....
