very likely yes.. i think i'ved missed the GM update of the iOS7... anyway, trying to download the official right now, and seems like the links of the iOS7 official are been erased.. wtf.

you can still snag the GM links out there from torrent sites or other file hosting places.
 
iOS 7 GM is the same build as the final release

I'm sure this isn't surprising to most people.

However it's a little disappointing … I had a few bugs with the GM on iPhone 5; stuff like when I was trying the dictation in messages, it wouldn't allow me to press the dictation button unless I closed & reopened the app. Nothing earth-shattering, I suppose …

What I'm trying to find out is: even though it's the same build number, is it likely that they've changed anything 'under the hood'? Maybe solved a few bugs? Also, has anybody encountered any bugs with the GM of iOS 7 that hasn't been mentioned?

No, the .ipsw file from GM and today's iTunes download are the exact same size.

io7 GM release and public release

This is a definitive answer for all you who are finding out about the GM and the public. They are EXACTLY the same build. I checked my version release (GM) versus my wife's, which I downloaded today through itunes. Nothing is different.

When the new release gets out we will get it as well. So either ios 7.1 or 7.01/2 or whatever it happens to be. itunes will recognize our GM builds just like the publics.

The definitive answer was provided even earlier a few times when not only the build numbers were compared but even their hashes proving they are exactly identical.

Yeah no doubt, it seems people were still asking the same question. Thought it would help ease some worries.
 
I think they are different

As I understand it, those on GA have access to more than 2 dynamic wallpapers. I am still on GM (without the opportunity to upgrade via my phone - though I can via iTunes) and I only have access to the original 2 dynamic bubble wallpapers.
If these are the same builds, why don't I have more dynamic wallpapers?

You're not on the GM then. What's the build number? (Settings, general, about, Version - should be 7.0 followed by numbers/letters).

The GM and the Public release are the same build number. I am on the GM, and I have all of the dynamic wallpapers.

11A4449d. I'm really new at this but I've updated each time a new beta came out and now, after general release, when I try to update from the phone, I cannot.

You have beta 6, not the GM. The GM/Public release build is 11A465.

You cannot update from a beta to the GM/Final release over-the-air. When the GM was released, you had to download it from the developer portal and install it through iTunes, there was no OTA update offered.

You must plug into your computer, open iTunes and select update or restore to update to the final version.

Solved. Thank you so much.
