With tons of other people given the patterns that often hold. Nothing exactly groundbreaking there.Gurman got it right again

It's not that Gurman is right, it's that people have realized the pattern of Apple releasing a beta one month before the expiry date. I said the same thing when the beta expiry date was discovered... I just didn't write an article about it.
Here's my article: Apple will be releasing beta 6 one month before beta 5 expires.
More like some ended up being right. It's all just guessing one way or another.
Well iOS 8 betas have been released through a predictable pattern so it's not really a guess.
Well, perhaps an educated guess, but still a guess since it's just based on what different people might observe and history (which doesn't always imply something about the future) and not any actual information from Apple. Most iOS 7 betas were on a similar pattern, until closer to the end when they weren't. Even with iOS 8 betas some people have one pattern they observe others a slightly different one and sometimes at least one or more might not hold.
Haha. No, there was a beta version that didn't require all of the checks that Apple usually has in place. I had it installed well before the final release.
