No, Apple's releasing the final product to customers around September 21. GM will be released to devs much sooner than that. There is no way that they launch a beta and then announce/release a GM a week and half later. We're in the home stretch and the next iOS 6 release will be the GM.

Just to see where you're coming from, what date would you give for beta 5?
I'd think Beta 5 on the 5th of September. That would leave one week for the GM until it's announced on the 12th, and another nine days until it's officially released.
 
Hah I called Beta 4 the last beta on the front page...unless some strange magic happens tomorrow we're on track for T-10 Days GM!
 
I just want the damn thing to come out tomorrow so the battery drama can be fixed.
Ya'll can talk about as many releases as you want. My vote is for the quickest one.

Can’t wait till october to get my hands on the new iPhone. Super excited! (October cus I am eligible for an upgrade then).
 
I was thinking the same thing. America has a holiday and the world apparently stops.

Last time I checked, Apple's headquarters are and have always been in America.

This doesn't necessarily mean that anybody at Apple has today off (and likely, they don't), but it is certainly valid to point out that today is a holiday in America. No snark needed.
 
Definitely GM next then.

yes, since it wont be released today, i suspect it'll be the Gold Master release next and the event announcement?

i guess we'll get an invitation to the for the keynote on the 5th?

i can't wait for iOS 6 :)
 
Guys...on Apple's website it says iOS 6 will come out this FALL. The first day of fall is September 22nd. I think we'll get iOS 6 the day after iPhone 5
