So, as usual all Apple users can hook up their devices to their computer or Mac, download the free upgrade and you’re good to go. For your information, the iOS 4.3 upgrade is compatible with the iPhone 3GS and 4, iPod Touch 3rd and 4th generation and both iterations of the iPad. Let’s also take a quick look at what all the new upgrade has to offer:

  • AirPlay Enhancements enable you to stream video from your Photos app. Also, you can also play your photos in a slideshow format through the available themes on the Apple TV.
  • Nitro JavaScript Engine is supposed to speed up your page load for faster browsing through the Safari browser.
  • Side switch for the iPad is customizable, so you can use it as a volume rocker or use it to lock the display in landscape or portrait mode.
  • The Personal Hotspot for the iPhone 4 lets you access the internet on your wireless devices using your iPhone 4 as a wireless router.

There are more improvements added with the iOS 4.3 upgrade, so if you’ve tried downloading it, let us know about your experiences.
