I'm feeling it! 11 hours and 9 minutes later today (Michigan-Eastern time) I shall be running beta 6! Or just pissed off.
Should be interesting to see if tomorrow ends up panning out.
Could it be today?
I'm not sure. Perhaps someone could tell me when Apple released a beta on a Friday?
BGR seem to think today and recently they have been right!!
We are too close to the rumored Sept 9 announcement, and GM. No more betas.
Link me?
The link about BGR?

Thanks, I am checking update every hours![]()
So, iOS 7 beta 6 came out on August 15th, today also happens to be August 15th. It appears that it isn't too late for another beta.
No. If it comes out today it will be in 3 hours.
Recently they had one or two right, preciously they had a few wrong, and prior to that they had some right and some wrong. What does it all mean? It could be today or it might be some other day. (As for Friday, while it's overall less usual day for a release, it's still a weekday which doesn't really set up a case against it, as any weekday is generally a possibility.)Could it be today?

How and where did they fix it today?They have fixed today holiday calendar bug for specific regions so it could be also beta 6 release day.

Seems not, fixed by server side.Does that mean they aren't planning on releasing 7.1.3 to fix the calendar bug? I know there had been some talk of a small point release to fix that. If not that would actually be good from a business stand point.
Would be interesting to see if others are seeing the same thing.Seems not, fixed by server side.

That said its hard to say whether or not that might make a beta release more or less likely, just that there's a possibility of it basically, as there always has been, more or less.
Certainly interesting data, although Im not sure it necessarily implies that there is an 8.3% chance of it being today, just that historically speaking past releases had an 8.3% rate of appearance on a Friday. That in itself doesn't necessarily have as much direct impact on a future release as they are independent events essentially. But, yes, in the overall "feeling" type of sense, it makes it appear that Friday is somewhat less popular or perhaps even likely than some other weekdays.A little bit of statistics:
Looking at release data from iPhone OS 2 up until iOS 8 beta 5, there has been a total of 84 beta/GM releases (including minor and major versions).
Out of those 84, only SEVEN have been released on a Friday:
- iPhone OS 2.1 Beta 3
- iPhone OS 2.2 Beta 2
- iOS 5.0 beta 2
- iOS 5.0 beta 4
- iOS 5.0 beta 6
- iOS 5.0.1 beta 1
- iOS 7.1 beta 2
So, ever since iOS 7.1 beta 2, no iOS beta or otherwise has been released on a Friday. Excluding that, there's a 7/84 (8.3%) chance it will appear today.
(Edit: fixed some incorrect data)
