They have a milestone target date this month for release-candidate builds. Yes it's still beta but they have to draw the line for release management at some point. I would imagine that point is sometime this or next week. I'm just concerned that the backlog of open perhaps non-reproducible bugs for this vast a change as is iOS7 is still too large for comfort.
Don't you worry, don't let it ruin your sunday, Apple is not rushing anything, if anything.
September 10th is a rumor and not an official release date for the GM, even if the 10th is when they release the GM, it's because the GM is ready, if Apple sees that the GM will not be ready for the 10th, guess what, they can release it a week later or so.
Havent seen any of this in beta 6. Safari works perfectly. Calendar reads fine. Videos not crashing for me. App switching seems spot on. Podcasts is a separate app, so that will only be fixed by a seperate app update. Additionally, once we hit GM, apples beta debug code will be out of the build so things will be less buggy.
The problems he describes where the problems I had on my iPad in beta 2/3. Right now in beta 6 it's even faster than iOS 6, at least that's my experience.
And I too had similar issues back in beta 2/3 w/iPhone 5...so the OP's claim these issues were with beta 6 just cannot be true.
One note: Podcasts app is not included with iOS, but found in the app store...at some point Apple updated the Podcasts app (somewhere around beta 4/5), and since updating the app in my phone it has worked fine for me.
I had the same problem and it was a problem the beta that crashed the Podcasts apps but it was solved with a beta update, at least for me.
Now I don't understand how he can still have this problems with beta 6. I have it running on my iPad which acording to the forums has more bugs and yet Safari is smooth and fast, Multitasking is way faster than iOS 6, Podcasts doesn't crash, no problem with video playback and no problem in the calendar.
I find it odd how people deny there are problems in the latest beta, yet Apple still lists known issues...
Safari seems to have a issue on mobile versions of sites that have video embedded in it. For example sites like macrumors with a video embedded in the post on the forum message thread.
Messages does not detect if the receiver is a iOS device to send a message via iMessage vs SMS/TXT. If the receiver is already in the messages app (history) as a iOS device it will know to send as a iMessage.
Organizing the placement of categories in Notification Center is a little screwy, but it does work with beta 6.
Alerts just do not seem complete/done, but that is a personal gripe.
Some third party apps still fail, but that is already know. Developers may need to update there software or Apple has some API bugs.

Lyrics are still messed up. I haven't tried syncing music from my iMac, but music from iTunes Match shows double-spaced line breaks on about 80% of my tracks (tagged manually and/or using lyric widget in Dashboard).
Ok, when were you 'on it' and on which device?
I'm running beta 6 on iPhone 5 and iPad 4:
Safari, perfect
Calendar, more than readable
Podcasts, listening to them as I type.
Video playback/navigation, perfect, even home sharing is fixed from ios6
Siri map navigation, works fine.
App switching, fine either by gesture or home button.
If these things were broken I would be back on iOS 6 in a heartbeat.
After upgrading from iOS 6 to iOS 7 beta 6 I had to reset settings so that the iTunes and app stores would work. It also fixed an issue with the photos app.
Nobody is denying there are issues in beta 6. People are simply discussing issues the OP mentioned and it appears many people aren't experiencing them. The OP hasn't posted details so it's anyone's guess why he's having them.
FYI: Apple has put an update for Podcasts app to the app store today, stating it "...provides several bug fixes".
+1
I have 7 on an iPad 2 and an iPad 3. The bugs I reported back in beta 1 have been fixed in beta 6, except an issue in SiriusXM. I think that is an application failure and expect it to be addressed by SiriusXM in an update.
That's great because Podcast for iOS 6 did not align correctly with the status bar.
It is the release version, so yes, there will be many fixes. The last real beta update we received, beta 5, was probably finished nearly 2 months ago. Apple has been working internally since then, so rest assured the final product should be much improved.
There may or may not be new features, no one knows. For that, we'll have to wait until Tuesday to see.
Exactly. When beta 5 was released, it was already at least a week behind what Apple had internally, GM will see a significant improvement on beta 5.
