nope. iPad 1 is stuck on iOS 5 forever.

Laggy gesture animations (five finger pinch to home, App Store in general) are the only real downside now.

I'm wondering if my 4s getting super hot and having awful battery life is a hardware problem or due to thr beta...

On my gfs 4s ios7 drained its battery in under 4 hours of doing jack all, reset it to ios6 and everything is fine.

Um not what I wanted to hear honestly. What beta version was your gf using?

Haven't had that bug before. Try signing out then in of your iTunes account. Plus a reboot of the phone.

For Call Blocking-what's the experience like in the other end? Do they get a busy signal?
One of the best features of Mavericks is the ability to mouse over a notification to do some stuff with the content without going to the app, kinda dissapointed that iOS7 doesn't have something similar. It could work like this:
Normally pulling down on the notification takes you to NC, so instead there are buttons on the right side. Hard to tap by accident.
And when tapping the Reply button

I've read that iOS 7 will launch on iPad after the iPhone iOS 7 launch, that would suck if true
You're still not allowed to publish apps using the iOS7 APIs to the app store, and you probably won't until the GM hits.
I just noticed that, too. I quite like this feature, as I have a ton of Lost episodes on iTunes. My rewatch is imminent.
I don't get it, what ios 7 API does it use? I'm just saying it has instantly crashed after opening in every beta so far.
IIRC, it doesn't matter what API it uses, no app using an iOS 7 API can be published to the store. I have about 3 apps that won't even start because they're not compatible with iOS 7.

If you smell burning, it's probably the generators acting up. Report it anyway.
Is Safari now black on iOS7? I haven't changed wallpapers. It is no longer white for me

Apple Seeds iOS 7 Golden Master Build to Developers Ahead of September 18 Public Launch - http://www.macrumors.com/2013/09/10...velopers-ahead-of-september-18-public-launch/
iOS 7 GM seed
Posted: September 10, 2013
Build: 11A465
1.2Gb large
Out for all the various devices that have had the beta. You who are in it will need to update to the GM seed in iTunes. This will not become available OTA to beta users (beta and public releases use two different OTA paths).

Any way to get the GM without being a developer? I know there were some ways you get install the betas without a dev account but those required me to wipe the device. I would NOT like to do that.
Unable to do that at the moment. A user from another forum added me to his developer account and gave me temporary access to download the first iOS 7 beta, but the password has been locked down since then, so I can't access it. Is there any other way to get it?

there is no beta for itunes windows though, i assume you can use latest itunes for windows?
Wait until someone uploads it to the internet, keep checking google and twitter.

Yeah the latest public release of iTunes works fine for updating to iOS7 but not syncing!. iTunes 11.1 is required and is not out yet
iTunes 11.1 will be released once iOS7 is public, iCloud syncing only until then!. The only issue I've come across with the current release is if you sync an iOS device with iOS7 style folders filled with more than 16 apps -- iTunes doesn't understand the new paging system so it dumps the 'excess' apps on the homescreen.

Is the iTunes 10.1 beta in Mavericks (48) good enough for the GM of iOS 7?
If you are updating from a Beta, you have to manually update to GM. It won't appear over OTA.
iTunes 11.1 beta 2 from August 16th is the one you need afaik.
Okay, I was in the beta so I guess I'm in the same boat as everyone else.
So most up to date version of Itunes isn't good enough? Need latest beta version of Itunes?

can you manually update, or must you restore?
Restore and then use your backup, you can technically update (I think?) but I would personally advise against it. There are a number of differences between beta builds and public builds in the way they communicate with Apple's servers (OTA update paths for one) and having the potential mixup of those when doing a direct update would be bad.

Seriously... my iPad 3 is barely even a year and a half old.
Is it really that bad?
Runs fine on mine.
Some examples? i'm downloading the GM but now you are stopping me from installing it :/
The A5X SOC isn't strong enough to power the retina display properly, I'm not surprised that an updated OS is destroying performance. iPad 3 was a poor product from Apple.

I'm going to try to do a full restore and set it up as a new iPad. That's possible using the GM release, right?
Yeah, just be mindful that iTunes won't allow syncing.
