According to CNet anyway...check this out

Rumor: iOS 4.3 to arrive Thursday, support subscription-based apps | iPhone Atlas - CNET Reviews

If this happens, it's most likely an announcement. Where are the test builds? They test for a least 2 months.

[anon(4698833)]

Not gonna happen...

[touchyphone]

Dev builds haven't even been out yet, so I dont see it happening.....

[ChrisGonzales90]

Maybe. Not everything happens out in public. Besides what will 4.3 have that 4.2 didn't? Its preety much the same thing people

[Duvi]

or maybe it'll just be the dev version that comes
out?

[ghostface147]

Maybe. Not everything happens out in public.

Give me some specific iOS examples of what was tested internally that the public never knew about and was released to our surprise.

We would not know about then, would we?

and again, what would 4.3 need to be tested for?

The article says

Unlike 4.2, which introduced a host of new features (like AirPlay and AirPrint), 4.3 will include just one major addition: subscription billing, which would allow content providers to charge weekly, monthly, or annually for subscriptions

[Mella]

Really? so quickly after the IOS4.2.1 realsing?
I don't think it happening, hmm, the dev version that comes out? - LOL, maybe...

[anon(4697585)]

I'd guess 4.2.2 if anything just to fix the few bugs but no way 4.3!

[anon(62000)]

Wouldn't a Gold Master be available already?

[buci1er]

maybe, maybe not. The reality is that this would be a very small update. So maybe they won't publicly release a GM

let alone nothing really to test as it only adds subscriptions.

[jsntrenkler]

I personally don't think it will happen.

[anon(4698833)]

An update is possible but the question asked was about iOS 4.3...which would indicate a pretty substantial update to the operating system to receive the .3 moniker. 4.2.2? Maybe, especially with such a small update, but even still...i doubt something like that would just be dropped with no word, especially so close to the 4.2.1 release.

[Capnjackk]

Yeah I bet the small update weighs in at 683mb ha. I doubt it comes out thursday.

[xxDruMMer BoYxx]

Nope, not Thursday. Maybe A Thursday but not this one. if anything an announcement of it but still not this week.

[pizzafootbal]

I doubt it, 4.2 just came out, why 4.3? My only guess would be that Apple wants to show new iPad users that they do good updates, frequently?

[deferom]

I wish.

Apple will seed it to developers at least a couple of times before it's publicly released.

[ChrisGonzales90]

What exactly would need to be developed. nothing but subscriptions will be added
