Apple has pushed out the iOS 7 GM (gold master) seed to developers. This will be the version that the public will see come September 18.

Interestingly enough, at the iPhone event today, Apple failed to mention any indications of a GM release, however it was expected to drop today.

The update is available in the developer center for download with a build number 11A465.

Please note that you cannot perform an OTA update to a GM seed from iOS 7 Beta releases. The update must be performed via Dev Center + iTunes.

We'll let you know if we find any major changes

To be informed of any updates please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS.

you need to put your phone into DFU mode. Hold sleep and home button until phone powers off. Keep holding home for around 10 seconds then release. You should see apple itunes logo.. Then connect to itunes and hit restore.

Just updated to IOS7 GM with iTunes 11.1 Beta 2 (Mac) on a iPhone 4s in the UK. I used the update button. with no problems.

spanishfriend - September 11, 2013 at 2:44pm

just updated to ios7 gm on iPhone 4S, and yet no unlock sound. Does any1 have the same problem...

si11 - September 11, 2013 at 3:46pm

It isn't a bug. it has been removed. I see no reason in having an unlock sound. I know i'm unlocking the device since I am looking at it. It makes sense to hear a lock sound only since you aren't usually looking at the device when looking.

si11 - September 11, 2013 at 3:48pm

locking

Update or Restore?

shayan - September 11, 2013 at 5:03pm

update !

Just got to know the iTunes 11.1 beta 2 currently only have Mac version available. For those who require iTunes 11.1 beta 2 on Windows; would recommend not to update to GM for now until the official version of iTunes 11.1 is available.

You know what I think? I believe apple is not doing ota, so, like someone had said before me "they can thin out the herd". Therefore many more will be anticipating anxiously for the official one to come out. Meaning there will be a huge number of those who upgrade on that day. Which will result in a big number, that apple can use on their next keynote to brag about the many ios device users who upgraded on that one day. :)

if you restore the gm to your phone, it wont mess it up or ruin it in any way, it just might now activate through apple, in that case, just restore whatever version of ios you had before

ktula - September 10, 2013 at 8:33pm

Apparently, Keychain access has been removed from the GM.

roxas712 - September 10, 2013 at 7:43pm

Ya theres no OTA this time. Apples Attempting to "Thin out the herd" of non-dev ios beta users. Only way to get it this time around is dev center or if someone shares it somewhere

SirSabatoge - September 10, 2013 at 7:38pm

Likewise no OTA

akshey - September 10, 2013 at 7:29pm

i didnt get that on my phone via OTA and i have done ios7 with the non developers account

Me - September 10, 2013 at 7:32pm

Did you try to install it manually on a non-registerd phone? Mine is not showing as an OTA either, however I am DL'ing the file from the dev center.

Carl - September 10, 2013 at 7:54pm

I have a UDID registered iPhone 5. Yet i am not getting anything through iTunes when i click check for update?

Sam - September 10, 2013 at 8:08pm

It won't work that way. You need to sign in the dev account and download it from there.

Ty - September 10, 2013 at 8:09pm

u have to download the file from the dev site. It won't be on itunes until next week.

Me - September 10, 2013 at 8:11pm

I have the file for the CDMA iPhone 5, do you think it is safe to apply without a registered UDID? (I hate to be first and screw up my phone) I have not seen any feedback yet as to where anyone has tried it on a non-registered phone.

goober - September 10, 2013 at 9:53pm

Just make sure you backup your phone. If it bricks, do you know the steps to re-install to a prior ios7 beta or ios6?
