Please, please: today.
for developers and the general public.
That'd be great.
I needz mah jailbroken 5.
Why?
So to put 6.0.1 release back on the phone (keeping what we already have as far as apps, settings, music, etc), and get rid of the beta we go to apple's website, and download the 6.0.1 release, then restore?
You guys haven't downloaded yet?! OMG is soooo fast! and like all the new features OMG it like a new phone guys!
To go from beta to gm do you have to download the gm through iTunes or can it be downloaded through iTunes
It is not possible to downgrade...
It's quite simple. Download the IPSW package from somewhere, connect your phone to a computer, start iTunes, click your phone info pane, shift-click update, choose the 6.0.2 IPSW, click ok, lean back, drink a coffee, and relax. Once it's "updated" back to 6.0.2, your phone is like just 5 minutes ago, just with the elder OS.
I had 6.1 on my iP5 just 5 minutes ago and did this. Works perfectly.
I have a developer account, and we have released something on it, just, we're pretty close to the 28th, not wanting to run risks.
How did you it loose all of your contacts, calenders, etc.? It's not like you can restore from iCloud backup?

So you didnt have to reinstall your apps, add you mail settings, etc?
Nope. I did this as well on my iPhone 5 and iPad mini. Back up just in case.

When I did it on my iPad 4th gen, it deleted earthing in addition to sip stalling 6.0.1. I clicked option then restore while selecting the ISPW. If I click shift instead do you thnk ill keep all of my stuff on my iPhone 5?
Hit update, not restore. Then find your ISPW you downloaded.
Technically, Apple could wait until Sunday to do it, just would seem like they're really running behind or are feeling time pressured.
On the contrary, has apple ever skipped the GM of a X.1.0 update and just gone straight to final release?
Either way there isn't much room for concern, they stated LTE functionality before end of next week, which needs to come in the form of iOS 6.1, thus the timeline is the same regardless of the GM date changing.
Based on information at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_SDK#SDK_release_history it seems like neither iOS 5.1, 4.1, 3.1 (and none of the 2.X releases) had GM builds (that were released). Perhaps Apple would simply be continuing what appears to be a well established pattern for X.1 iOS updates by going straight to final and not releasing a GM.A GM is only offered to developers. An official release will appear in iTunes, and in OTA updates.
If Apple choose to release both public and GM the same day nobody knows. It would be extremely uncommon on one hand, since they normally give devs one weeks headstart with a GM. On the other it looks like that might happen, since Cook promised us in Europe that we will get LTE this upcoming week in an update. Maybe they release 6.0.3 for the public, and a 6.1 beta 5 for devs next week. But also very uncommon if that would happen. My bet is on 6.1 for everyone next week.
