This represents the final build that will be released to the public on September 18 for installation on existing devices. iOS 7 will also be included on the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c, which launch in the first round of markets on September 20.

Why are people asking about Windows? This is for iOS developers. You can't develop for iOS without XCode which is Mac only.

because that guy wants to feel special and elite, it's a character flaw shared by many on these forums.

Yeap. I can understand their stance on betas, but a GM SHOULD be 100% safe and ready for the masses. Hope the devs spend their time updating their apps rather than lecturing the countless hoards that are looking for a DL link.:cool:

OK, so no OTA to go from iOS7 beta to iOS7 GM. But if I restore via iTUnes to the iOS7 GM, will I be able to get all the OTA updates post iOS7 GM? Or do I have to re-restore to the iOS7 official release version to get OTA updates after that?

TIA.


The GM *is* the release version. ;-)

When restoring your iPhone or iOS Device, do you guys get an option of downloading the iWork suite, iPhoto and iMovie for free. I.e Can people with older iPhones set up their iPhone as a new one and download iWork for free?

I can't answer you're question, but I'll just chip in and say my interpretation was that it was for the new 5C and 5S iPhones only.
