iPads Being Sold TODAY have 4.3 or 4.3.1??

[bella92108]

I'm curious if the iPads being bought in the store today have been pre-loaded with 4.3.1 yet, or if they're still going 4.3 and requiring the user to update them.

Thanks!

My expectation would be that units you would find on a store shelf today would be running 4.3, whereas if you placed an order on apple.com today, the unit you receive will have 4.3.1.

But mine doesn't come till Thursday, so I won't know about orders shipped this past weekend until then. :)

Well the stock is still constrained, so if you're buying one in store today odds are it was delivered to the store today or yesterday, that's why I asked.

A friend purchased tow iPad 2 units yesterday and they both needed updating.

Mine was loaded with 4.3 and I had to update it.

Mine was loaded with 4.3 and I had to update it.

Mine was delivered yesterday from Macmall & came with 4.3 loaded.

I'm not updating just yet I hear there is a JB for iPad 2 4.3 but not 4.3.1 they just need to pack the JB code without copy protected data.

Yeah reason I asked :-)

I have a 64gb wifi and it has one tiny semi stuck pixel. I may just wait.

Picked up one today from a Target and it had 4.3. Need to update still.

I don't get the sense that Apple updates the assembly line for .z releases. These releases are usually bug fix releases that don't introduce any new features, so it really isn't a big deal to have the customer update upon purchase. It takes time and costs money to upgrade the assembly line for new software/firmware so I would think any manufacturer would minimize the changes in procedure.

even if you get 4.3 your in the same boat as me. I didnt backup my shsh's and I was away when apple released 4.3.1. by the time I got back and tried to back them up it was too late. so ya my ipad 2 is on 4.3. but I only get 1 crack at jailbreaking it if I have to restore I have to restore to 4.3.1. hopefully the devteam has a plan.

I also hear in addition to bug fixes that 4.3.1 closed the 4.3 JB hole found on the iPad 2 so those updating to 4.3.1 will prob be waiting a while.

I also didn't get a chance to grab my 4.3 SHSH so will be very carefull on this JB hope they can get a legit JB packed up soon.

You win the prize lol.

Reason I was asking was because my unit had a dead pixel and I wanted to get it swapped but nit lose the ability to jailbreak. I went in and they'd just gotten today's shipment in (4/6) and so they swapped it for me. Much to my surprise and happiness the version is 4.3 not 4.3.1...

For those who received 4.3.1, do you have backlight bleeding issue?

[Macuser1066]

Got mine yesterday - 4.3.1

[joeyboyyy91]

4.3 today for me, in store

[Kupp]

4.3.1 and purchased in store this morning.

For those who received 4.3.1, do you have backlight bleeding issue?

Mine seems very good, no major overt issues. There is a light border around the perimeter, but nothing I would consider distracting. However I haven't cranked the brightness past 50, heck I lowered it a bit.

[joeyboyyy91]

Should say I am in the uk

My 64gb Black AT&T Delivered today (Syncing now:D) came preinstalled with 4.3.1

[PBz]

Purchased 64GB at&t iPad 2 today, it came with 4.3.1

[kvizzel]

Mine is very noticeable at 50%, and is pretty around the whole iPad.

The corners are brighter with sort of a yellowish tint, hopefully it's the glue? idk I'll give it a couple of days.
