Apple to Reset iCloud Backups on September 22nd, Ahead of GM?

[CompletelyApple]

Let's forget about what Apple "usually does". Apple usually releases an iPhone every June/July, but obviously that didn't happen. So we need to be open to anything at this point.

This isn't realistic by any means, but who's to say that Apple won't send out invites tomorrow and have the event by Thursday or Friday? It's "unusual" for Apple to do this, of course. But, I'm looking at all possibilities here. even if chances are slim.

and GM doesn't HAVE to be released right when the keynote happens. Although it has been that way before, things can change. especially this time around.

Whatever is going to happen, I just wanna be able to pre-order the iPhone 5 by September 30th and have it by October 7th.

People are having a hard time being open to anything this year and assumptions are being made based on previous years.

I agree fully however most people are just excited and really wishful.

I just want to hear something from Apple this month, and when I do all rest assured.

Fall begins on my birthday?

Wow, 42yrs of living on Planet Earth and I never knew fall started on my birthday.

Just goes to show you never stop learning.

all mobile me mail gone

So does part of the transition to iCloud include the elimination of all mail in Mobile-me? Happened to my account this past week.

 

[spencers]

can't wait for the GM.. will download once it's up!

Excited as well. It's been a fun ride on these betas

Wasn't there 2 GM builds for 4.0?
Apple please give 5.0 GM to developers, so ours apps can get updated in time.

hopefully there is only 1 GM build.. if something needs to be fixed release 5.0.1 right away.

Speaking of pirating, talk like a pirate day is September 19th! Don't miss it! Might have to plunder us some iOS 5 booty... Sorry, I couldn't resist.

EDIT: Now comes the interesting part: Vote down for no sense of humor, vote up for otherwise. Lets see how it goes!

 

[Stewie86]

I can see it now:

"Two is better than one."

 

[yodaxl7]

If the iPad 2 timeline is any indicator, expect invites this wednesday (9/21), the special event on 9/28 and iPhone 5/4S/whatever on 10/7.

Totally agree!

It is either 22nd or 23rd. This year it is 23rd. So, you were born on the northern hemisphere automnal equinox when the day and night are approx equal length. I assume you are a well balanced person

 

[wilymon]

I just found out that today that our local Apple store closed for remodeling and reopens on the 22nd. I'm sure it's coincidence, since not EVERY Apple store is closing, but it seemed a bit coincidental.

I can totally see that in advertisements if there are two models.

This is simply likely part of the iCloud QA procedure, to make sure that iCloud actually works with the GM. I'm actually surprised that there haven't been more iCloud resets. This likely has nothing to do the actual GM release date, and so people are again free to start pulling out random GM release dates from dark, moist places.

You have ruined the mood now lol

Sorry about that . I'm totally willing to be proven wrong, though!

Free Banners & Business Cards

I wonder who prints Apple's promotional material. Do they handle that in-house?

I can't see Apple sending their banner orders to VistaPrint!

Maybe one of these free business card companies also print free banners. Or maybe a division of Toys 'R Us, called Banners 'R Us make them.

Question Arnold, why is this in the 'iPhone' forum?

Because the is the Post PC Era. Macs are just as irrelevant as Windows computers are.

Wait so, if I store backups with apple, that means that they can delete them anytime they want? Or make them unavailable for a certain period of time?

This is why I don't subscribe to any cloud stuff.

And this is why Apple is going to have to try much harder to convince the majority of the public that it's a good idea to have their backups in the clouds.

iOS 5 is the best.

Or rather that is why you should check the meaning of the word "beta" before you get into a beta testing.

Interestingly I am right now downloading updates to 2 applications, 1 for iPhone/iPod and 1 for iPad and the updates notes say 'Adding compatibility for future operating system'. Which is good to know some app developers are obviously updating for IOS5!!!

I have noticed this on and off for the last few weeks. Although from what I understand anything built using the 5.0 code cannot be submitted yet, my guess is its just improvements to their apps for things they do not need 5 code to implement ahead of time.

Heres to hoping whenever all of this comes down we can start saving game saves to iCloud. Would make life so much easier lol

Seems like i've been waiting forever for ios5, 4 more days.

Most likely they've just removed bugs (incompatibilities) caused by the iOS 5 betas.
