Twitter update for iDevices coming soon


It looks like Twitter is getting ready to release a major update for their iPhone and iPad app, based on the change log discovered by 9to5Mac in the redesigned App Store in iOS 6.

According to the leaked change log of the upcoming update - Twitter 4.3 will include features such as a interactive Tweet view experience, enhanced notifications, searching, performance and lots more.

Here's the list of what's coming in Twitter 4.3:

Discover more interactive experiences inside any Tweet: when you view tweet details containing links to partner websites, you can now see content previews, view images, play videos and more
Special experience around selected events: we’ll curate accounts and surface the best Tweets and photos from the those involved
Improvements to autocomplete suggestions when you search for people in Connect
Push Notifications for Tweets: you can know immediately when selected people you follow have tweeted
Ambient notifications: enables you to see brief non-interruptive notifications in the status bar while you are using the app
Discover: now indicates when new stories are available for the user to load
Trends: support for personalized trends
Tappable avatars that take you directly to user profiles
Performance improvements
Support for password entry in app when experiencing authentication issues
Hungarian language support
Updated with new Twitter bird
Many other tweaks, polish, and bug and crasher fixes

The big question is - will the new features in Twitter 4.3 give users (especially power users) enough incentive to switch back to the Twitter app from popular Twitter apps such as Tweetbot.

What do you think? Sound off in the comments below.
