Anyone know why we will not be getting the 4.3 update? Or know when we will. Maybe since some of the features in 4.3 are already loaded on our versions 4.2.6 maybe we will just be jumping straight to 4.4 when it comes. Any thoughts ?
Apart from the brief exclusive of its Personal Hotspot feature, the Verizon iPhone is being updated separately because it uses a different baseband chip than other iPhones, requiring a separate firmware. Apple may be waiting for Qualcomm to deliver a specific update for the chip before integrating the new firmware into the iOS release for that model.
Apple hasn't announced a date for the Verizon iPhone release version of iOS 4.3, but it is likely to follow shortly after the initial release for GSM iPhones because the new build packs a variety of features and improvements.
