Not nessecarily, it could be updated early or late. There's no actually release schedule, but there's a probable chance of seeing it released this week.

Hence the word "suggests". And if there is a release it will be at 6pm. I can specifically remember always getting the news of an update around that time. It may not reach the tech sites until 6:15-30 but its always at 6pm.

Is everyone just getting an error occurred when they check for update?

I'm getting the "up to date" message too. I'd give it a reset and try again.

Some folks at macrumors reporting it's out now, so keep an eye out. Nothing on the Apple dev centre yet.

drunkmonkey

Nothing through itunes or OTA yet anyway.

Out now, downloading on my iPhone 5.

It feels good to be right....

At last! The .com gone from Safari keyboard.

Control center removed from lock screen... I'd say its just temporary until they can figure out the solution.

Also overall a lot more responsive.


Better heirarchy in the list views... Mail, Messages etc....

It wont be up to them to fix them. Thats on the app developers.

Makes sense. Probably have to wait for the official release so. Annoying. Maybe the duplicate notifications and random restarts will be fixed this time.

I know if you get enough complaints, the devs will usually post an update. I dont expect skype to though being an MS company now.

While I still dont like some parts of iOS 7 - The snappiness is starting to feel like an iOS device again.

The music player has been fixed!! The now playing button is back, my iCloud hidden songs are hidden once more, and you can once again slide scroll through artists!

Still have control center on my lock screen. I don't have a passcode though, so maybe that's why?

Are you on the 5? My friend using the 4/4s still has it too.

Is it the same as the updates? App Store doesn't seem to be populating top charts for me atm. Anybody else?

After upgrading my sim is locked on the phone like what happened after the last update but it's not asking me to enter the sim password like the last time. Anyone else with this or how do I find how to enter it.


Edit:
For anyone with this problem keeping the phone turned on take out the sim. The phone will say it was removed but don't hit ok and insead put it back in and the removed message will change to an unlock option.

Developers aren't (officially) allowed to submit updates for iOS 7 compatibility until it goes GM. And lot of them don't bother until a few weeks after release.

If you go into the settings, and phone settings for Pin etc it will then prompt for the Sim Pin. I had the same problem not being prompted for the pin in beta 2.

As I've no longer got the beta installed I'm relying on blogs for changes. Some notable additions for me is Calandar now shows a mark beside days with an event, glad to see that back. Also as mentioned above the app install animation looks cool. Also glad to see the music player has the little icon as well as the words for each or the separate sections on the navigation bar.

They made the fonts thicker. Hurray! I knew that wasn't going to last.
