do we will have a 7th beta or we will not before GM?

It's funny to think most people on this forum was 100% on a 8th Beta, i said the day beta6 came out there most defiantly wouldn't be a 7th, GM will get pushed to partners on the 5th of September and to Developers on the 10th (anyone can install without UDID "exact same as Final Public Release')

DONE....
 
The GM is always released after the keynote, and it won't be any different this year.

The GM's code will potentially contain hints at features specific to the new models of iPhone, so Apple won't want these to become public knowledge until the keynote itself.

And the version for iPad?

It's been what, 3 weeks since the last full beta with beta 5. Beta 6 didn't count as it was a 13mb hot fix for iTunes in the Cloud. I think the iPad build will have had extensive work in the time between beta 5 and Sept 10th.

I certainly hope so, because beta 6 runs like crap on my iPad 3

We could see a GM today if Apple wants to release it; then we could be seeing the public release September 10th after Apple's iPhone keynote.

Who knows though; anything is possible.

That's impossible because the GM will contain support for 5S features, and Apple doesn't want those to be revealed, obviously. The GM will come day of the keynote, like it always has. I'm not sure why this still seems to be an open question around here.

It's more about hoping that it'll come out than an actual belief that it will. Same reason people still believe in God.

The GM for the 5S will.
But there's no reason for the iPhone4 GM build to contain support for components it doesn't contain.

I still agree, no GM til keynote day.

You do know that each iPhone (4, 4s, 5) has it's own individual image, right? No need to add support for the 5s hardware on the older hardware images. ;)
 
I'm a store leader in the New England area and I have reliable sources that say that there will be a GM on some day at some point in time relatively close (plus or minus 10 days) from the date the 5S/5C will be available. Additionally, these sources have told me that there is not going to be a Beta 7... or that maybe there will be. Lastly, we're about a year away from the release of the iPhone 6 and iOS 8. How exciting is that?

Woah you opened my eyes! It's SO obvious why didn't I think of this earlier :D

I think it's safe to say we will not be seeing a beta 7. Next week is most likely GM so I wouldn't see a reason to release another beta. I had thought we would have seen beta 7 last week from a good source at AllThingsD but that never came true. This is MacRumors after all! ;)

Lol AllThingsD? That was your "reliable" source haha. Yeah ok you work for Apple too? fail.

If you actually read threw all of my posts, I claimed that my source WAS from AllThingsD even though I work at Apple. Nice try though.

And iQuote

"Well considering where I work, I believe this is a VERY accurate description."

"Only a select few first off are aware of the updates, not every single employee in the store. Secondly, we also complete testing and submit information back to HQ. This is public knowledge that most people are aware of."

You claimed to have had information only known to a few. You're full of crap. You never claimed to say your reliable source was AllThingsD. Just stop being a attention whore.
 
Just a quick note... if you say you work at Apple, absolutely no one will believe you. So please stop it. Stop it now.
 
I agree that we need another beta. With us being this close I don't know if we'll get one.

If we don't get another beta, I expect for the iPad version to get delayed. The iPhone builds are fairly stable and usable, the iPads are stable-ish but I can't imagine trying to release a product with it in it's current state.

Do you think I really care what you think or what anyone else here thinks or believes? I'm stating my opinions and knowledge whether you choose to believe it or not is up to you. I don't come into the forums to try to lie or make friends here. Some people though do choose to listen and have listened wisely as I have been correct many times in the past. Thanks for being my forum fanboy though!

@Am3r1ca16 : Once again you fail to understand the post you just quoted. Do you even bother reading anything here or do you just try to troll everyone because your life is miserable? If you actually read my post correctly, Store Leaders and higher are aware of these updates. Sometimes it's beta updates, sometimes it's product updates, sometimes it's pricing updates etc. I wasn't solely referring to iOS beta 7 that's why I wrote what I did. My source was from ATD which has been reliable in the past however it wasn't the case this time. Sometimes things change for the better however it seems like that will
Never happen to you because you're too busy worrying about other people instead of yourself. Enjoy!
 
invites are officially out! but where is the GM? nowhere to be found. like i said wont be till the day of the event.
