Personal Hotspot to all iPhones

As expected, Apple has pushed personal hotspot feature to all iPhones on iOS 4.3 but it'll work like tethering on AT&T, likely with those fun-time data caps. No word on AT&T yet.


New Camera Effects

As noted by iSpazio, iOS 4.3 beta 1 firmware files hints at some references to new effect in the Camera app. The effects are; Thermal Camera, X-ray, Kaleidoscope, Normal, Tunnel of Light, Collapse, Turbine, and Enlarge.

New FaceTime Icon, Full Screen iAds

As reported by 9to5mac, iOS 4.3 brings a groovy, new FaceTime icon (above) as well as a new full-screen iAd banners and adds Airplay and Apple TV services (not apps on Apple TV -- yet) for apps. Specifically:
AirPlay Video support is now available as an option for developers in the MPMoviePlayerController class. It is also available to web authors via the QuickTime Plug-In or media element

Brings Back Orientation Lock

It seems like Steve Jobs changed his mind and decided to bring a new setting lets you choose for the switch to be an orientation lock or the new mute switch (via MacStories):

iPhone 3G and iPod touch Support Drop

As we reported, iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G have been discontinued as of iOS 4.3. Both of the devices are not listed anymore on the iOS developer website. This indicates that the latest iOS build for iPhone 3G and iPod touch may be iOS 4.2.1.
