Release notes

What changed

Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.

Milestone identity

Apple’s developer notice and a same-day report establish the iOS 4.3 GM seed on March 3. Apple’s March 2 announcement supplies first-party feature context immediately preceding the candidate.[1][2][3]

Indexed evidence

This page indexes 7 bounded occurrences. Titles and summaries are original synthesis; source locators identify the specific evidence family behind each record.[4][5][6]

Evidence limits

This page indexes the GM feature state rather than claiming every item first appeared on March 3. The public release remains a separate, already approved event.[1][2][3]
