Apple has just seeded iOS 7 Gold Master (GM) to its registered developers via iOS Developer Center (Dev Center) as part of developer program, following its big iPhone event on 10 September. The iOS 7 GM will be the final developer release before the update is rolled out to the public on 18 September.
There is still no sign of an Over-The-Air (OTA) update for the Gold Master release, as Apple intends its developers to add the finishing touches to the iOS beta software before the impending public release.
