Apple released the third beta of iOS 4.3 just a few days ago, but a new rumor has emerged that claims that the final version of 4.3 could be pushed out to users on Valentine's Day. This latest bit of speculation comes from a "reliable source" speaking with MacStories, who believes that Apple will release iOS 4.3 on February 14th at 10AM PST, or 1PM EST. If true, AT&T iPhones would likely gain Personal Hotspot functionality the same day.

There's a lot of big things coming from Apple's camp in the near future, like the Verizon iPhone, in-app subscriptions, and the Personal Hotspot feature for AT&T iPhones, so I wouldn't be at all surprised to see iOS 4.3 drop on the 14th. This way they could get both Verizon and AT&T's iPhones on the same software version and allow payments for apps like The Daily all in one fell swoop. What do you all think? Will we be enjoying the next major version of iOS in just 10 days?
