iPhone Possible iOS 7 GM video leak?

Sure, an internal (perhaps unreleased) version with some internal tools. Doesn't really signify anything for the customers really.
----------
And what is there to actually make that likely?
Animations smooth, BioTest app and all hidden apps shown. I don't believe this guy has access to internal settings or a fail break.
But how does that imply it being a GM or even related to GM vs. some internal build with internal tools (from possibly even earlier in the process of even just recently)?
The animations are smoother than beta 6, so that couldn't indicate it's a later internal build or GM.
Although, perhaps the good performance is due to running it in the simulator. I have no idea how beta 6 runs in it...
That's the thing, it could be due to running in a simulator, it could be due to running it without debug settings/code, it could be due to some other performance/testing tweaks...lots of possibilities, and not much that really points to anything related to GM (aside maybe from the fact that the videos popped up now vs. earlier, but that in itself isn't really evidence of anything in particular either).
Someone posted that someone posted that before earlier in the thread already.

People like to go off on wishful thinking quests and "conspiracy theories", rather than look at things from a realistic point of view, which is just not as "cool".
The nested folders shown in the video aren't "finished", so I don't think it's GM:
When looking at the folder (that has the nested folder inside) on the home screen, there's no mini-icon to represent the nested folder - can't see Apple overlooking something as visually significant as that for the GM.

If you look at the status bar, you can see airplay mirroring is on. it could still be fake though.
I'm going with its fake. I mean it's the guys only 2 videos, plus I can't see apple adding a feature that big so late in the beta cycle. Seems like there's a glitch with folders pretty often, so seems kind of risky to add. Maybe a 7.1 beta?
The different find my friends icon leads me to believe it's real. But I think it's just some sort of internal beta...either 7.1 as you said, or an internal beta from several weeks ago...who knows.
Where was the Find my Friends icon? I noticed someone mentioned it in the thread, but I couldn't find it in the video.
Find My Friends is at 0:04 (on the Spotlight video) but it's very hard to catch it when the person swipes.
Someone could send him an e-mail to ask but I don't think he'd get to it for awhile.
I feel this could potentially be an early GM build, it is newer than beta 6, ESPECIALLY since we see that new wallpaper, it is an all blue version of the very first iOS 7 default wallpaper. Also the way the animations are flowing is convincing me this is one of the GM builds.
That's what I figured, but I couldn't catch it on iOS. Guess I need quicker fingers.
Can't catch it on pc either
