How much notice do they normally give press before a keynote? I'm curious when it's going to be, a lot of hype around this event.
And a lot of betas for 9.3!
Got a tip for us?

if you don't it may be solid, but set a password and set it's lock time 1-5 min and see the bug.
it's ready when it's ready.
it'll be released when it'll be released
it'll be released when it'll be released
it's nearly ready..and we can get a gm seed next monday (developer final build) and the public final build will be pushed after the event
hope they send out invites today otherwise i feel the event is not on the 23rd. didnt they send out invites 2 weeks in advance the last event?
it won't be on 15th march..now it's clear, the invites must be sent already last week, now there is only one possibility will it be on 21st or a later date, the invites must be send until tuesday - wednesday next week. or earlier
all speculative non-sense.
it's ready when it's ready.
it'll be released when it'll be released
I said we are speculating on the top of the topic. That site's name is macrumors right? So I think it's not wrong to make speculations and chatting about that..
Not exactly "ready when it's ready" at all. Apple has timelines to release things by. It's more like it will release right before the iPhone SE and 9.7" iPad Pro are released because new hardware always comes with an iOS update to support them.
It's been fairly well known for a long time that the event was going to be March 21st (was originally said to be the 15th but got moved back a week for whatever reason.) and it was also fairly well know the new phone and iPad releases were to follow the event by just a few days (the 18th when the event was originally said to be the 15th) now likely to be the 25th on the devices with the event on the 21st.
The event and device releases being their timeline to get it done by.
It's also fairly well known that software releases are tied to hardware releases. Meaning they have specific dates on hardware and the accompanying software to support it has to be ready by then.
More like educated guess based off when the event was said to happen (which is now fact) and based off the devices likely to be released very shortly after.
Also the fact that Eddie Cue said in an interview in February that OS X 10.11.4 was "releasing next month". Which would be March, the month they are holding an event. The event they are announcing a new phone and an update to the 9.7" iPad.
OS X and iOS updates typically release together. Especially when same new features are apart of both (in this case update to iBooks on both for iCloud and also update to Notes for password locking notes.)
in a thread with "speculate here", written all over it. we all seen these before, "ios # beta X today??", "final release x/x/xxx?" etc.
i said before..that's a speculate topic..why do you still extend that subject ? you don't have to join or answer it. we are all in a complacency..
Let's discuss the upcoming Golden Master build of iOS 9.3 . When do you think it will drop (before, during, or after the March Event), and what remaining bugs, if any, do you think it will fix? Also, for those of you whom are testing 9.3 on a separate device, do you think you're going to put it on your primary device right away, or wait to update it? Finally, what have you thought about 9.3 while you've been testing it?
There are plenty of threads on the virtues and foibles of the 9.3 betas - both public and dev. Do we really need another thread?
Also, one of my pet peeves has to do with everyone throwing around the "Gold Master" term. The origin of that term has to do with the release that's sent to the manufacturing partner to be installed on the new model. There might be some wiggle room this time with the rumored iPhone SE, but Apple does not create a "GM" release for each iteration. They are typically reserved for the final .0 version to be installed on the next generation iPhone. Other than the .0 release, I don't recall Apple even having a "GM" version... it's just released to the masses.

I used the "GM" term because that's what a lot of people are using, whether for better or for worse. Also, the main reason I create these "Waiting" threads is to reduce fragmentation on the subject as much as possible. One thread, which can serve the purpose of per-build discussion and anticipation, is in my opinion much better than 5 or 6 threads on the same subject. If this thread could collect together all discussion on the final 9.3 build and reduce fragmentation on this subject, I would be quite happy. But I understand it might not be possible for this to occur. Still, wishing everyone all the best and a good discussion!
Hoping within the next week or so. With a JB quite soon after. The latters more wishful thinking.
Who thinks we might see the final 9.3 seed drop this Monday, March 14th? Seeing as it's exactly one week before the event, I'm kind of hopeful that it's possible (both so that a JB comes soon and that it could be available for the 5se very soon (i.e. 1 or 2 days) after its launch).
I think there wont be a GM build. Just the final release next week. Probably monday.
I think you could be right about a release next Monday, just because we've been on a weekly cadence for the last couple of betas. The last 3, to be exact.
There's never a GM for a .x update. Public release will be the day of the event, like always.
Boom. Lock thread.
