iOS 4.3 Gold Master has been seeded

As per usual Apple has seeded its latest iOS update to developers ahead of the official release. There is not much in this one, the three big ones are:


Personal hotspot which will depend on the carrier support although seems to work on Vodafone UK at the moment without having to add the tethering bolt on.

Home sharing finally Apple has brought a feature that seemed like a no brainer from day one and in typical Apple style the wait has been worth it. It is as simple as adding your Apple username and password into the home sharing section in iTunes and iOS device and allows you to stream all your music and video from your iTunes library.

Airplay which allows you to stream video from your iOS device to a Apple TV.

Along with some bug fixes and tweaks (album art seems to work again after going very wrong in that last update), nitro java script for Safari and a double vibrate for new SMS messages, there is not much to see. Now let's hope that Apple do a radical overhaul of the OS for iOS 5 which is likely to be previewed next month.
