Want To Beta Test iOS 4.3?

Beta Testing for iOS 4.3 has begun and Apple has released the first iOS 4.3 beta 1 to developers on January 12.  The iOS 4.3 beta has some really cool features including mobile hotspots and new gestures for the iPad that eliminate the need for the home button.

Only the iDevices below are included in the iOS 4.3 beta:
* iOS 4.3 beta (iPad)
* iOS 4.3 beta (iPhone 4)
* iOS 4.3 beta (iPhone 3GS)
* iOS 4.3 beta (iPod touch 4th generation)
* iOS 4.3 beta (iPod touch 3rd generation)

If you have an iPhone, iPod, or iPad that you would like to use to beta test the iOS 4.3, you are in luck.

You will need to be on an Apple iOS Developer team to Beta Test.

    • Vinny I believe we only have a UDID of your iPhone on file. We would need you to submit a new one for your iPad as we only have a few spots available.

      • Thanks for that, I’m having a slight problem though..

        I don’t have the gesture pane in the settings (under the side switch pane)

        Is there any reason for this?

        I’ve downloaded the firmware twice now and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve restored ?

        Still no luck

        • For those of you on an iPad on iOS 4.3, enable the secret multi-touch gesture user interface by connecting it to your computer, opening XCode, open the organizer, and go to the iPad tab. Now, click “Use For Development” and wait until it’s done. Now, go into the Settings application on your iPad and you should see the option magically appear!

  4. Hi,
    I’m new to all this. I just registered, how long until I get a password? Also, once I donate, how long can I download beta’s, does this last for as long as I own my phone, or does it last until the site closes down?
    Thanks, Jerry

    • you will have access to all of the 4.3 betas and possibly more. Each year the device count is reset and LEi Mobile’s resets in October.

    Are there any spots left for registering my UDID for iPhone 4? If so how soon after I donate will it be before activating/registering the UDID for me?
    Thanks

  10. It says access denied! I got your email and the code now says Invalid Invitation Code. I can get on the site and says I’m registered.

    • I’m on the site, it won’t let me access any downloads. Says I’m registered, the links you put up here, only get access denied. Does it matter if I havw Win dows 7?

  11. I donated and received my invite for the UDID I sent you earlier today. The UDID is submitted was for my iPad. If I want to run the beta on my iPhone, do I need to donate again or just give you the UDID for my iPhone?

    • You may be able to find it in system profiler under USB devices. If that doesn’t work you will have to restore back to 4.2.1 to get it.

  14. just connected my iphone 4 to itunes and clicked on serial number, it changed to UDID and was the same as what was showing for the serial number in system profiler so im assuming its the same for the ipad?
