Apple Releases iOS 4.3 Beta 2 – New iPad Gestures No More

January 20th, 2011

Shortly after releasing the first beta for iOS 4.3, Apple has released beta 2. As usual, the beta is out for all iOS devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch), as well as an updated SDK and AppleTV firmware.

What’s interesting is that the multitasking gestures introduced in beta 1 are gone, and according to Apple won’t be released for the public.

Apple has informed developers that the gestures introduced in beta 1 were just a developer preview. Preview of what’s to come….sound’s interesting.

This feature will not be enabled in iOS 4.3 for customers, but we are providing this preview to gather input on how these gestures work with your apps.

Further proof that the new iPad won’t have a home button? Perhaps, take it as you will.

Er, sorry, this article is incorrect. The gestures are still there in Beta 2. Though it is true that they’re not being released to customers just yet. If you don’t see the option to enable/disable the 4/5 finger gestures, connect the iPad to XCode and enable the device for development. Then you can enable/disable them again.

I hear Apple employees are already testing iPads and iPhones with no home buttons, So I wouldn’t be surprise to see the iPad2 without a home button in April…
