Beta 9 works great except for a few glitches here and there but it feels very stable on my 7 plus so GM will be the finishing touch.

It’s a U.S. holiday today.
Yes, the GM is usually shipped after the keynote.
No, the GM is the same version as the version on the new products. This should normally be the same version as the first public release. Last year we had the unique situation, that the new devices came with iOS 10 (GM build) and needed to be updated to iOS 10.0.1. this might happen this year again.
Technically the iOS 11 GM has been frozen a couple of weeks ago. The last Betas has already been for further releases (iOS 11.0.2, iOS 11.03)
When Apple demo the App Store at the keynote, someone should yell out "HOT DOGS"
So technically worse then. Any of the fixes from the last few betas will not be in the GM according to this statement correct?
Right. iOS 11 might ship as iOS 11.0.1 as the first public release. Based on things I’m hearing, iOS 11.0.2 might come as early October 2nd.
Idk but I can tell you iOS 11 is no where near ready. Both on iPad 10.5 and iPhone 7 Plus, it’s very jittery and lots of bugs. I remember most past iOS releases at this point were much more stable.
Can you provide some examples on iPad Pro 10.5?? From what I've read it's the most stable of all the iPads. I tried iOS 11 on a friends Air 2 and while useable it was definitely a bit choppy in the animations. I hope this isn't the case on the new Pro since right now it's insanely fast and fluid on iOS 10.
We repeat again: beta builds aren't necessarily a reflection of the absolute progress they've made so far. A beta being unstable doesn't mean that they don't have a much more stable master that they're building and running in the background while we, the plebs, use and figure out issues on the purposely buggy versions.
If, once we get GM, you have the same issues then yes, it's "no where near ready".
GM will come out the afternoon after the keynote is over on the 12th.
This is literally how it has happened every single time so far.

We will maybe get beta 10 today and GM the 12th. But beta 10 can come as late as Thursday I think.
Beta 9 is crap on my phone, lots of freezes, stuttering, and sleep/wake issues where the phone will not react at all when trying to wake it. Not much time to get it right.
No. Because none of those fixes will be implemented in the GM. iOS 11.0 is what it is. Anything going forward will be for 11.0.1 and above.
I believe that you will need the Dev profile to get the GM release... otherwise, you won't see it until the official release date (which Apple will announce at the announcement event). Not sure if the Public beta users get the GM (this is the first year that I haven't had a dev account/dev profile at iOS release time.
