Apple is planning to reset all iCloud backup data on September 22nd, 2011. As noted by 9to5Mac, the announcement was posted to Apple's developer site for both iOS and Mac developers:
On Thursday, September 22, the iCloud Backup data will be reset. Backing up to iCloud or restoring from an iCloud backup will be unavailable from 9 AM PDT - 5 PM PDT. If you attempt a backup or restore during this time, you will receive an alert that the backup or restore was not successful. After this reset, you will be unable to restore from any backup created prior to September 22. A full backup will happen automatically the next time your device backs up to iCloud.

Apple's iOS 5 has been undergoing developer testing since its announcement back in June. Developers have been able to test iCloud for backups and storage during the developer betas.

Apple has provided 7 betas to developers thus far, and had been previously rumored to be offering the Golden Master (final version before release) on September 23rd. That same rumor had also incorrectly pinpointed a Beta 8 release a few days ago, but the 23rd date seems to line up nicely with this iCloud backup reset.

Apple had said that iOS 5 would launch "this fall" which technically begins on September 23rd.

This also lines up nicely with my desire to finally get my hands on iOS 5.
 
iOS 5 GM and invites on the 23rd?

Media Event & Public iOS5 release on the 30th?

New devices Launch Oct 7th?
 
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.
 
Obviously, iCloud will launch when the iPhone 5 (or 4S or both) are launched. iOS5 will likely go live the same day (or shortly after) to everyone else.

But when? I'm tried of waiting!

I can just imagine the Keynote invites being drafted right now and the massive banners being printed right now

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! :D

Couldn't have said it any better.
 
Oh man, this is so exciting. The day is approaching, and I'm beginning to feel the excitement which i had before the iPhone 3G was announced. I've never been so excited for fall in my life.

So when can we expect the invites to go out?
 
"GM usually comes out the same day as the keynote. So I'm a bit confused."

Usually, but this year is obviously a bit different for Apple in terms of release cycles.

Or it means keynote is on 22nd with VERY short notice for invites?
 
I can't talk about my own experiences due to the NDA, but I heard on the grapevine that Safari's still crashing quite a lot in build 9A5313e, so I'm worried if they really do think they're that close to GM.
