Rumour: Apple delays iOS 4.2 until November 24th?
November 17, 2010 by James
If we are to believe the latest rumour, iOS 4.2 was delayed by Apple until November 24, 2010.
However this rumour comes from a pretty reliable source: UK’s The Telegraph, who are quoting their own unnamed reliable source.
It was previously expected that iOS 4.2 would arrive for iPhone, iPad and iTouch devices this past week, but quite obviously this did not happen.
Apparently the reason for this delay are recently discovered WiFi issues that the iPad has with iOS 4.2 – this is indirectly confirmed by the fact that Apple released a new iOS 4.2 “gold master” firmware build only for the iPad last week fixing this issue, while no updated iOS 4.2 gold master build was released for the iPhone / iTouch.
Apart of that, iOS 4.2 and 24th of November are the same numbers written in reverse, and Apple has a knack for using memorable dates this way.
We’ll certainly keep you posted on new developments.
UPDATE: nope, iOS 4.2 won’t come out. Ever. Apple just released iOS 4.2.1 gold master!
