Theoretically it could come out early...Apple's iOS page just says it's "coming soon" and lists no dates.

Although, either way it's a matter of hours and days...nothing to get crazy abooot.

Yeah, those people don't know anything except things related to "help desk".


Well, I originally thought the employee featured in the article did just lie and speculate .... but perhaps someone alerted the rest of them not to say anything about the release or their ass would be fried like Darren R.!

Anyone know that 3rd party website that automatically checks Apples update servers for new versions of iOS?

Dear Darren, will the Powerbooks G5 sport dual cores Freescale processors or some new IBM designs?

And when tomorrow comes the BGR headline that macrumors puts up will be "no iOS 4.3 till tomorrow?". Hell they have to get it right one of these times. :rolleyes:

Some say

Some say that iOS will be released at 3PM PST.

But guess that is BS too. Why even care. Friday is the day! And it is not revolutionary stuff we are talking about! Relax, take a cup of coffee and get back to work!

how does this have any weight?

If emails from Steve Jobs are often questioned, how does some lowly home agent have any bearing on what's happening? This person has no idea what he's saying, and even if he's wrong, what would the consequence be? There would be no repercussions at all.

I'm not sure how this sort of claim makes the front page, Arn?

Poor Darren R.

I'm a big fan of when Apple reps drop info for all of us geeks, but I always feel bad when the screenshot is posted with the rep's actual name. The poor kid is probably not making a ton of money and outing him for a slip up is probably going to cost the kid his job - or at least prevent any kind of promotion or significant raise.
We're all capable enough to blur out the names, lets try not getting people fired for rumors about impending updates. The iPhone 5 this is not.

I say FAIL.

Probably Darren R. is now going to get his house raided by the police for revealing confidential Apple information. As if it mattered when 4.3 came out... Gee, it aint going to be THAT fantastic...

No iOS till the 11th. Just like Jobs said. Why all this BS?

Agreed. It will be available on the day it's available on the new hardware. Updates are often only available AFTER the revision is available on new hardware. So getting it the same day is a perk, really.

Looks like they are telling the support staff not to say anything or you just got a person that did not know what they were talking about.

When I talked with Brentt M. he said "As of now, there is no information regarding the date and time available for the iOS 4.3 release. I would recommend that you come back closer to the 11th, to check on this information."
