Verizon iPhone 4 Not Getting iOS 4.3 Yet?

This is weird. On Apple’s iOS 4.3 website, it makes no mention of the Verizon iPhone. In fact, it lists iOS 4.3 as compatible with only these devices: iPhone 4 GSM Model and iPhone 3GS. iPod touch 4th generation and 3rd generation. iPad and iPad 2. The Verizon iPhone 4′s iOS 4.2.6 already has the Personal Hotspot feature but doesn’t have the new AirPlay features and improved Safari browser. [Apple]

Hints Of Apple TV Gaming Buried In iOS 4.3 Beta Code

An Engadget tipster sifting through the code for iOS 4.3 beta 3 found mention of “ATVGames” and “ATVThunder”, with references to some sort of controller, leaderboards, game scheduling and a store front. It’s hard to imagine that Apple would just flip the switch for iOS 4.3, but it does seem likely that iOS games are gonna show up on your TV at some point down the line.
