Well, it's been three weeks since the fourth beta of iOS 6.1 was released to developers. For those who have paid close attention to previous iOS release patterns, what is your guess on when iOS 6.1 will be released to the public?

does it really matter? it contains almost zero changes, so its release wont enhance my phone in any way, thus I think most people couldnt care less about when it gets released.

So rude. If it doesn't matter to you, why even bother to post here? :rolleyes:

@ the OP, I honestly believe it'll be out either this week or next week. I'm just waiting so that the jailbreak can come out after 6.1 does. :)

How can anyone predict when it'll be out when the Gold Master version hasn't even been released yet?

And when the first reply mentioned zero new features, he's completely right. Nothing of any sort to look forward to, besides bug fixes to make the iOS 6 more stable as a whole. Unless Apple decide to throw something in in the GM version, then that's a different story....

GM this week and release to follow

The unsigning of 6.0.1 is an indicator that they are moving this along. You will see it sooner than later.

Just my opinion

Gm?

How does anyone know that there will be a GM version released? Couldnt they release 6.1 as a general release when they are ready? especially if its mainly a bug fix release with minor new features/enhancements. Seems one of the 5.x.x ones never went to beta with developers first it just showed up one day. Am I mistaken?

Sounds more like an uneducated guess.

6.0.1 no longer being signed for devices that have 6.0.2 isn't in any way an indicator of 6.1's progress.
