The iOS 8 Gold Master beta could be out already, and some iOS 8 public launch date predictions have been made.
Apple disappointed developers by releasing iOS 8 beta 6, the most recent iteration of the software, to carriers and partners exclusively.
Still, the Cupertino company should roll out a final iOS beta, the Gold Master version, before the public release of the OS.
Tech Rader speculates that iOS 8 GM could be out on September 3, given that the iPhone 6 is expected to be unveiled by Apple on September 9.
Thus far, there have been no reports from developers about having been notified that the iOS 8 GM is available for download.
Product Reviews thinks that the iOS 8 GM will be released after Apple’s keynote on September 9, just like in a similar event last year.
As for the public iOS 8 launch, Business Insider says it will be on Wednesday, September 17, which echos the release schedule since 2011.
Apple traditionally announces a new phone on a Tuesday, releases the latest iOS the following Wednesday, and launches the new phone on that Friday.
The iOS 8 will have plenty of new apps and features like Health, Quicktype, HomeKit, Interactive Notifications, and an improved SIRI and Spotlight.
The iPhone 5S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5C, iPhone 4S, iPod Touch fifth-gen, iPad 2, iPad Air, iPad mini with Retina Display, iPad Mini, iPad 4, and iPad 3 are iOS 8-compatible.
