As the Apple event rumored for next week edges ever closer, the App Advice website is reporting that sources close to Apple have indicated that Apple is now preparing its Apple iOS 7 Gold Master ready for release to developers this week.
The latest Apple iOS 7 Gold Master is the final version that will be sent out before Apple releases their new mobile operating system to the public.
Anticipation for the Apple Event
It’s also been rumored that Apple is now preparing to send out invites to the Apple event rumored to be on September 10th, 2013. During the event, Apple is expected to announce their new iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C smartphones, details of which have been steadily leaking out over the past few weeks. The iPhone 5S is anticipated to be the premium model, featuring advanced hardware and possibly new color options, while the iPhone 5C is expected to be a more budget-friendly option, potentially available in a variety of colors.
Apple is expected to make the new iPhone 5S and 5C models available for retail sales on Friday, September 20th, with their new iOS 7 mobile operating system launching a few days before. This timeline aligns with Apple’s typical release schedule, where new hardware is often made available shortly after the announcement event.
What to Expect from iOS 7
The iOS 7 update is one of the most significant overhauls to Apple’s mobile operating system in recent years. It features a completely redesigned user interface with a flatter, more modern aesthetic. The update also includes several new features such as Control Center, which provides quick access to essential settings, and AirDrop, which allows for easy file sharing between Apple devices. Additionally, iOS 7 introduces improved multitasking capabilities and enhanced Siri functionality.
Developers have been eagerly awaiting the Gold Master release, as it represents the final version of the software before it becomes available to the general public. This release allows developers to finalize their app updates and ensure compatibility with the new operating system. The Gold Master version is typically very close to the final public release, with only minor bug fixes and optimizations made before the official launch.
Unfortunately, no information on pricing has been released yet by Apple for their new iPhone 5C, but as soon as information comes to light, we will keep you updated as always. The iPhone 5C is expected to be a more affordable option compared to the iPhone 5S, potentially targeting a broader market segment and increasing Apple’s presence in emerging markets.
The upcoming Apple event is highly anticipated, not only for the new hardware announcements but also for the official unveiling of iOS 7. The new operating system promises to bring a fresh look and feel to Apple’s mobile devices, along with several new features that enhance usability and functionality. As always, Apple fans and tech enthusiasts alike are eagerly awaiting the latest innovations from one of the world’s leading technology companies.
