Apple made an announcement during the first half of the iPhone media event that iOS 7 will be officially released on September 18th. As the iPhone media event wraps up, Apple has proceeded to seed iOS 7 golden master (GM) to developers. Download links are provided below.
In case you don't know, Golden Master is likely going to be the final build of iOS 7 before it goes into primetime. Unless major bugs and issues have been found in the GM version, iOS 7 GM will be the very same build that will ship with the new iPhones. This version will be it, the one that's ready for public consumption.
With iOS 7, Apple has gone through six beta versions. iOS 7 beta 1 released right after the June 10th WWDC 2013 keynote, iOS 7 beta 2 on June 24th, iOS 7 beta 3 on July 8th, iOS 7 beta 4 on July 29th, iOS 7 beta 5 on August 6th, and iOS 7 beta 6 on Aug 16th.
