Apple Said To Release iOS 7 Gold Master On September 10
As most of you know Gold Master refers to the final version of software that’s ready for release to manufacturing – it’s usually the same build as the version that comes factory preloaded on latest devices.
The reports says that the company will make a final Gold Master build available to its employees and carrier partners five days early, on September 5. More tidbits right below…
Our sources have not confirmed which day, though Monday makes the most sense as it has been the typical release day in the past.
The Gold Master seed set for release to carriers around September 5 should be the software that will get released to the public later on in the month of September, “barring any major bugs or problems that might be discovered,” BGR notes.
Keep in mind that Apple o slated to hold a media event on September 10 to likely announce the iPhone 5S and 5C so it would be fitting to release the GM build that same day. Both phones are expected to run iOS 7 out of the box, though the revamped mobile operating system will run fine on older devices, too.
