Let's talk iPhone

Apple has officially sent out invitations to the media for its press conference that will be held on October 4th at 10am at their Cupertino campus. From the caption, it looks like we could see the unveiling of the iPhone 5 along with iOS 5. Only 1 more week! (Secret meaning behind invitation)

Fall

So it's been a while since an iOS 5 update has been released, but Apple has said that iOS 5 will be released this Fall. Considering that tomorrow is the first day of Fall, there is a good chance (many rumors) that tomorrow could bring about the GM build and the official release shortly after. It is also rumored that Apple is holding its announcement event on October 4th and could officially release iOS 5 then.

Still waiting...

It turns out that rumors were wrong about an iOS 5 beta 8 update last Friday. It has now been about 3 weeks since beta 7 was released, so there could be a chance that the next release will be the GM rather than another beta. This wait for iOS 5 will definitely be worthwhile, but it is sure getting loooooong! Almost there though!

iOS 5 Update

According to MacRumors, iOS 5 beta 8 is due out this Friday and the GM will be released on the 23rd. There have been speculations about the other betas that have been slightly off, but let's hope that this one is fairly accurate. If the 23rd is indeed the release of the GM build, that could mean that we will see the official release of iOS 5 sometime in the first week of October!
