iOS 4.3 Update Overview and Changes
**iPad and iPhone Update Overview**
There are several new features and updates available for the iPad and iPhone. One of the first notable changes is the addition of a mute option, which allows users to silence notifications without having to go through settings. This feature can be accessed on both devices.
Another update includes the ability to set rotation lock, which prevents the screen from rotating. This setting can also be used to prevent accidental screen rotations while using apps that require specific orientations. The mute and rotation lock options are now available in Settings, under a new section called "Sounds".
In addition to these updates, there are several minor changes and features that have been added to both devices. For example, users can now cancel or delete app installations during the installation process, rather than having to wait for it to complete. This feature is available on both the iPad and iPhone.
The App Store has also received a redesign update, which includes a new layout and design elements. While there are no major updates for this feature, it does provide a fresh look and feel for users.
Push notifications have been added to Ping, Apple's social network for music. These notifications allow users to stay up-to-date with their favorite artists and albums. However, the author notes that they do not know anyone who regularly uses Ping, making this update relatively minor.
Underneath the keyboard on both devices, there is a new option called "Weight". This feature allows users to customize the typing experience by adding weight to certain keys. For example, users can add a comma or colon to pause their typing. The author notes that this feature may be of interest to those who use keyboards frequently.
Parental controls have been added to Ping, which allows parents to monitor and control their child's music listening habits. This update is relatively minor, but provides an additional layer of parental control for parents who use the device with children.
Location services have also received a redesign update, which moves these settings to the top of the screen. Users can now easily turn location services on or off as they see fit. While this update may seem minor, it does provide users with more control over their device's location-tracking capabilities.
Finally, there is an update regarding browser speed, which has been increased on both devices. The author notes that the exact amount of improvement is unclear, but browsing should feel faster and more responsive than before.
**Additional Details**
The author also mentions that they were unable to find any significant updates for the iOS operating system, aside from the aforementioned features. However, it's worth noting that new jail breaks may be released in the future, which could potentially unlock additional features or capabilities on the device. If you have any questions about the update or would like more information on how to take advantage of these features, please don't hesitate to ask.

don't have much as far as that goes uh we do have push notifications for Ping now uh if you use their apple social network for music uh you will have those options uh I think it's I don't remember if

parental controls for Ping which again is is one of those things that's kind of uh you know I don't know that it's a a a huge huge deal to many people um I used it for a little bit and it's there I'm not really going to go over it I don't even know where it is so we also have uh they've moved location service setting things up to the top so if you want to have locations these are all the things using my location you can turn them on or off as you please uh and we have the uh that's that's pretty much it uh as far as that update it's pretty minor update unless you really want the Wi-Fi update
