iOS 7 GM download links have just gone live on the Apple’s dev site. Those enrolled on the iOS Developer Program now have immediate access to what is essentially the finished iOS 7 build, and can start installing the firmware on their provisioned iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices through the usual well publicized download channels.
Ah, finally.. finally, the iPhone 5s, Apple's latest and greatest flagship smartphone has been revealed to the world. And we’ve got all the details under one roof!
It’s official now, iOS 7 GM download links will go live today on the Dev Center, as confirmed by Apple at their media event. First announced back at this year's WWDC in June, iOS 7 is now ready for public consumption having reached GM stage, and will publicly become available to compatible iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices from September 18th.
Will Apple innovate or simply produce hardware that focuses more on evolution? Today is the day all will be revealed as Apple walks us through the year ahead, live from Cupertino.
As the hours tick down towards the big September 10th iPhone event, which will play host to the introduction of new wares from Apple, the final preparations are being put into place as the fruit company readies itself for an influx of journalists and other hangers-on.
With only a couple of days left until the announcement of the iPhone 5S, or so we presume, Apple has done a pretty good job of keeping things under wraps, with sightings of the device having been kept to a minimum. But when you're busily mass producing a product for prime time, information is bound to leak out eventually, and snaps of what would appear to be marketing material shed even more light on the device's specifications as well as aesthetics.
We are now less than 72 hours away from the iPhone 5S and 5C announcement, and while it's understandable that all the fuss will no doubt be about the new flagship handset coming out of Cupertino, it's arguable that the most interesting device that we expect to be announced on Monday is the new budget iPhone.
Users of iPhones come in all shapes and sizes, but when you find a proper hardcore fan of Apple's smartphone then the chances are pretty good that they're also rather keen on a spot of science fiction. We'd have to count ourselves firmly in that category, and we'd definitely argue that it's no bad thing.
We've caught precious few sightings of the iPhone 5S over the past few days, weeks and months, but today, we have our first alleged look of the device in its original packaging. As has been touched upon ad nauseam, the handset will feature a fingerprint sensor for its Home button, and from this leaked snap of the iPhone 5 in its retail box, it can be seen in place of the Home button.
Apple's iPhone announcements tend to follow a very specific script, and with September 10th the confirmed date for the official unveiling of the two new handsets in store, we're likely to see the familiar sequence of events. Tim Cook will make the announcement, before Phil Schiller and others begin reeling off a bunch of reasons why the newer model "changes everything, again." To mark the occasion, a new parody video is doing the rounds, and pokes a little fun at the Cupertino company for its archetypal ways. Check it out after the break!
