Do you guys think the Final Version of iOS 10.3 will be released this Friday March 24? The CodeRed iPhone is going to be released on friday I would think it comes with iOS 10.3 preinstalled on it, Opinions?

Why would Apple update iTunes with iOS 10.3 support if 10.3 wasn't going to be released this week?

There have been many talks in the last few days suggesting the beta is over and the final version will be released anytime, now. There has been no confirmation from Apple.

More likely today (Thursday) if this week otherwise Monday/Tuesday next week. Doubtful on a Friday though. There have been several releases on a Thursday in the past so entirely possible for today.

With the new products (10"5 iPad Pro successor) looming, I don't believe there will be another beta coming this week. All newly launched devices can be sent out with iOS 10.2.1 as there is no new components in the launched products

I expect an announcement for the iPad event for the first week of April (it could be used to some other announcements (e.g. Apple Pay in Germany and Italy) over the course of the day. The GM Build might ship this coming Monday with the public release (for all platforms) on the day of the iPad event.

I'm skeptical if there will even be an event in April based on what was just released.

The rumored 10"5 (and iOS 10.3 confirmed that device) would be worth a separate event as it is the successor of the current iPad Pro lineup. Also the 12"9 inch iPad Pro needs to be updated. Maybe there's some details about the new non-portable Mac Lineup.

This all could be worth an event.

Uh, iOS 9.3 launched on March 25, 2016, that was a Friday. So who says iOS 10.3 won't launch in that same time range?

I did say 'hardly ever'... Additionally as sbailey4 pointed out, it originally came out Monday immediately after the event on 3/21.

I would not take that bet. Everything released on Tuesday is based on "old hardware". Even the iPhone SE could be released with 10.2.1 . The only specialis the colour of the iPhone 7(+).

If there was completely new hardware released last Tuesday, I would agree.

Highly unlikely. That means they had to install iOS 10.3 on those devices when were were still in beta 5, or even earlier. There is no new hardware, therefore 10.3 is not needed.

It will launch today.

Source: My buddy works for Apple. SW release dates follow HW release dates, when there is one.

It will ship with the same build as Beta 7, which is GM for 10.3

The current build is a beta build. It cannot be shipped to the public. Just look at the build number, its not public worthy. Its been discussed at length in this thread.
