Will Apple launch iOS 4.3 update for Verizon iPhone next month? Apple recently showed up developer version of its next iOS software update iOS 4.3 beta. The new iOS update incorporates a pack of innovative features, Apple said last week. Apple is yet to announce iOS 4.3 release date.

Apple showed off iOS 4.3 betas 3G hotspot compatibility, multi-touch gestures and several other new features. Does iOS 4.3s 3G hotspot facility translate that the software update is specially designed for Verizon iPhone?

We have enough reasons to think so; first of all, AT&T never extends 3G hotspot service for Apple iPhone. Meanwhile, Verizon Wireless does. Evidently, a Verizon iPhone is in the offing. Early week next month, you can buy a CDMA iPhone from a Verizon Wireless store.

Furthermore, iOS 4.3 betas multitouch gestures feature implicates that forthcoming Apple hardware upgrades like Apple iPhone 5 and iPad 2 will no longer carry physical buttons. Apple is on way to remove physical buttons from iPad and iPhone. The device will instead work on iOS 4.3s special multitouch gestures.

According to Apple sources, a four finger multitouch gesture on iPad or iPhone touchscreen will bring you the multitasking tab. You can switch between apps there. Similarly, a five finger multitouch gesture will draw you back to home menu, i.e. no further need for a physical home button.

Meanwhile, some reports revealed that hackers have successfully developed PwnageTool Bundle jailbreak for iOS 4.3 beta on iPhone 4. But developers can only run iOS 4.3 beta jailbreak now. Once iOS 4.3 release is realized, the iOS jailbreak will be available for public."
