In 5 days IOS 6.1 Beta 4 will expire. Apple could release Gold master of 5th beta at any time next week.
Gosh I hope we get GM this week then. If we get beta 5 it better bring new features!

It will probably have to be released before Jan. 28 because that's when beta 4 expires.

It probably will be another beta but I wouldn't expect anything new or earth moving. We'll have to hold tight for iOS 7 to see that.
Tired of waiting on this Overly Hyped Update. RIP Steve, Apple just isn't the same without you.
Who wants to bet they are trying to close jailbreak holes?
Jailbreakers are making so much noise they act like they are about to release a jailbreak.
Agreed 100%
Feels like apple is run by a bunch of clowns now
5.1 was in the beta stage for many months more so far than 6.1. This has nothing to do with Steve.

Between the latest iOS 6.1 beta (4) expiring next Monday, January 28, 2013, and the announcement of expansion of LTE support for additional carriers coming next week (https://www.macrumors.com/2013/01/2...-36-additional-carriers-in-several-countries/), it seems like iOS 6.1 should be released at some point between now and end of next week (probably in the early part of next week).
When Scott Forstall was let go, they said Scott was one to release something by a deadline, whether or not it was completely ready. We're no longer in that era, and Apple is taking care to get things right before release. (See iTunes 11 month long delay)
It makes sense... Wait longer for a better, more polished product. Maybe now we won't all be clamoring for 6.1.1 a week after 6.1 is released.
Well seeing as 6.1 Beta 4 expires next Monday, they've set a deadline for themselves.
True enough, and I could be wrong. This is definitely unusual, as Apple normally leaves days or weeks between expiration and the release of the next beta/GM.
Wasn't it revealed a while back though that Apple could remotely extend expiration dates?
I don't know about documentation, I just remember ih8snow tweeting that the expiration date for a beta last year had changed.It would make sense if Apple could update this remotely in a logical sense, but is there any documentation to support this assumption?
If anything, they would extend it to continue bug testing, meaning they might as well release beta 5.
But I think the stars are aligned pretty perfectly here - if 6.1 will enable LTE for other carriers worldwide, then the developers getting the GM friday and the rest soon after makes perfect sense.

What would you expect when the thread starter posted a question such as this.
This forum is to try and help people with jailbreak/modification issues.
Threads like this just clog up the forum since no one can answer this with anything but a silly guess.
Those of us who have been here awhile realize how much a waste of space this thread is.
