Apple Releases iOS 4.2.1 Golden Master to Developers


MacRumors has just received word that Apple has seeded a new golden master of iOS 4.2, known as iOS 4.2.1, to developers. The new version carries a build number of 8C148, up from the previous 8C134.

According to those familiar with iOS 4.2.1, Apple has instructed developers not to resubmit their applications under the new build, suggesting that only minor fixes are included.

Seems to make a release of 4.2 today unlikely.

The problem with Apple has always been these interminable release teases. Once again 4.2 is bogged down in apple bugs.

So does this mean they will release 4.2 imminently and then after working out further kinks release 4.2.1? Or would they go straight to 4.2.1?

Not that I think it will happen, but wouldn't this make a release of 4.2 today more likely, since they're already readying 4.2.1?

Why is this a problem? Better to get the bugs worked out with dev releases before putting it in the hands of the consumers.
