Apple planning iPad 2 and iOS 4.3 event next week

Earlier today, we informed you about a New York Times report which claims that iOS 4.3 may be released for public on February 13th just after the arrival of Verizon iPhone 4 by 3 days.MacNotes.de reporting that Apple is planning an event for next week to introduce the iPad 2.

The report speculates that Apple will announce a special iOS 4.3 media event to introduce in-app subscriptions, an announcement Apple vice president Eddy Cue revealed would be coming soon during yesterday's introduction of The Daily. The announcement of iPad 2 may come as a “One more thing” surprise at the end of that event.

Besides, John Gruber of Daring Fireball reports that  iOS 4.3 will be likely released in the next two weeks to provide support for in-app subscription payments for The Daily before the free two-week trial runs out. iOS 4.3 will also bring Personal Hot Spot feature to iOS devices.

Stay tuned for more updates as they come! [MacRumors]
