Buh-bye iOS 4.2? Apple seeds developers with iOS 4.2.1 gold master

“A few minutes ago Apple posted a new GM seed in the iOS Developer Center. The build shows that it’s a GM seed for iOS 4.2.1, with build number 8C148,” Federico Viticci reports for MacStories.

“A reliable source informed us that Apple released this build internally last night, and it’s aimed at fixing major Exchange and audio issues,” Viticci reports. “Our source also tells us Apple might just release iOS 4.2.1 to the public next week — thus skipping iOS 4.2 altogether. We don’t know for sure yet.”

  1. R2, STFU!
    “iOS4 brings products to where they should have been years ago???” The iPhone itself is barely “years” old. Are you really pissed that they didn’t ship the Original iPhone with a 4th generation OS???? And the original iPad should have had an OS that wasn’t even available to any platform until 3 months after its debut.
    They said November, they are working out the bugs. Get over it. If they shipped it with bugs, you’d be complaining even more. Let them do their jobs.

    For god’s sakes….

  2. The OS update is late.. On my the Mayan calendar is wrong it’s already the end of the world.

    You’ve got all these fantastic toys and all you can all do is bleat. Shut the f**k up!!

    It’ll be here when IT WORKS and it will be better than anything else other companies have to offer.

    I like decimals as well … I also like this little Ducks’ Ditty

    All along the backwater,
    Through the rushes tall,
    Ducks are a-dabbling,
    Up tails all!

    Ducks’ tails, drakes’ tails,
    Yellow feet a-quiver,
    Yellow bills all out of sight
    Busy in the river!

    Slushy green undergrowth
    Where the roach swim—
    Here we keep our larder,
    Cool and full and dim.

    Everyone for what he likes!
    We like to be
    Heads down, tails up,
    Dabbling free!

    High in the blue above
    Swifts whirl and call—
    We are down a-dabbling
    Up tails all!

    However it has zip to do with

  4. ‘Preposterous: Contrary to reason or common sense, utterly absurd or ridiculous’.

    R2, just how is Apple not releasing IOS 4.2 in any way ‘preposterous’?

    Your comments suggest you are having a bad day/week/month/year/life.

    Do tell us what the REAL problem is – because it certainly isnt Apple or IOS 4.2.

  5. @ skylark:
    Nice ducky ditty, reminds me of ” I’m a little teapot, short and stout….”

    So really R2, if you sing the ditty, and breathe deeply while clicking your heels together……..
