That doesn't make much sense. When the new phone went on sale on Sept. 12 the official time was 12:01am PDT. So why would an iOS release for Sept 17 not also start at 12:01am PDT?
It can. In apple chat the automatic question and answer also mention. Beginning of sep 17th.
Waiting for new ios8 and new iphone 6.

That's when they have been in the past for last few iOS releases. Usually give or take 30 minutes.

It's funny. In the past I couldn't wait to get the new iOS when I was getting an upgrade a couple days later just to play around with it. With 8 I don't feel like it is all that exciting without the new phone. I think part of that is that for 8 to really be appreciated you need 10.10.
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing!

This means noon for those of us who are in the central time zone! Unfortunately for me, I will be at work and won't have access to WiFi, however I may run over to Starbucks for a quick download 😉

Exactly my thoughts. Plus, according to some of the forum members, iOS 8 seems to be fairly unstable even in though it's golden master. I'll be sticking with 7.1.2 until a more stable update is released.
I agree but luckily I'm rocking Yosemite so I'm itching to upgrade. I can haz all your calls and texts plox?

Been running ios8 since the first beta (its gotten a lot better but there are still some bugs for sure). I wonder how diff this wed build will be than the gm build. Still holding off 10.10 while im updating my apps for ios 8 though.

Not until October, the GM release of 10.10 and iOS 8.x They have disabled the SMS continuity. Not sure about calls.
What's the point in that? Isn't the whole point of a beta, public or closed, to check for bugs and make sure features work correctly?
Still once it's all working along with WiFi calling on my network (one can dream) I'll be a very happy bunny.
I think they should release it at midnight in their primary launch countries that way load is spread.
But as apple is a west coast company 6pm pst it is. It just takes hours on launch as huge numbers are trying to get it all at the same time

The main reason I'm excited about iOS 8 is that it's getting WebGL enabled, so I can finally do some cool development that runs on iOS!
For example, this little motion blur demo should work on my iPad tomorrow. 😱

I'm running Yosemite on my Air but not on my iMac. And on the Air it is installed on an external drive. So I only boot to it sometimes and even then it is desk bound.

That inconsistency doesn't surprise me after the screw-up when they started selling the new phones.

It's not inconsistent. In the past new OS updates came around 10am Pacific time.
