New features in iOS 4.3 (photos)

Apple has issued iOS 4.3 for GSM iPhone 4s. CNET takes a look at a few of the new features.

Kent German
Kent was a senior managing editor at CNET News. A veteran of CNET since 2003, he reviewed the first iPhone and worked in both the London and San Francisco offices. When not working, he's planning his next vacation, walking his dog or watching planes land at the airport (yes, really).
