I got the same message at 12am sharp. It's now 7 Sept where I am.
Probably a test message??

Happens every year. The GM is the release candidate.

Well there are internal release candidates I'm sure, but we never see them. The GM is intended to be the same as public release unless there is any major bug discovered in the week between GM and PR.

Not sure if photoshopped or not but look at the corners of the alrert box, it's less rounded.

Or the fact that the account was created today and is obviously a troll account laughing at everyone posting "me too" about a 30 day test message.

I hope this doesn't mean we've reached the expiration date of this beta.
They have done that before. Released a beta on the weekend because the previous beta was expiring.

I wanted to share something I thought was interesting. I too got the message this morning, but when I went into software update I got this message. I have retried a couple times both on wifi and cellular. I do have a dev account so I don't know if that has something to do with it.

Just not on a Sunday, especially on a long holiday weekend, and especially a few days before an event where the GM would be released. I guess on the very off chance that there's some critical enough bug that really needs to be addressed, it might happen, but even then they wouldn't really wait for some usual 10 AM timeframe and just get it out as soon as they were ready to release it.

Same here. I even connected my iPad to my laptop because I thought the update might have to be installed that way.

So I was messing around with the date on my phone and I noticed a weird pop up about beta iOS 9 appear but I dismissed it by accident before reading it. So I tried the same thing on my iPad and got the attached pop up. Anybody else seeing this? Does it mean that the GM may be coming tomorrow??!! I've never seen this in betas before.

Try this on your iOS 9 beta 5 device and let me know if you see it.

What do you guys make of this?

Anyone else's push services not working since the pop-up?
You know when you're on iMessage on your Mac, your phone and other devices shut up about it.

My friend and I were having a conversation and the phone kept "waking up" and delivering notifications, kinda annoying.

There are not going to be any updates until the keynote on Wed. It is also a holiday, they generally do not release on a holiday Monday.

I suspect what is happening is that Apple is uploading the GM build to their CDN servers around the world and this triggered the software update prompt by accident.
